Ramelin’s Borean Valley, 8 miles per hex

Following his flurry of maps in July 2017, Jose returned with more new maps in September. This was his first independent map of the Borean Valley, although he had already mapped out most of it as early as January 2016 on the edge of version 2 of his Northeastern Brun map. Later versions of that map cropped it out, preferring to focus on the Norwold area. The Borean Valley is integral in connecting eastern and western Brun maps, so he released it as a separate map of its own, taking the opportunity to update it a little at the same time.

I’m not entirely sure what Jose’s sources were for this area. I assume Matthew Fleet’s 24 mile per hex map had a strong influence, as I’m sure did DJ Shade’s. However, those do not account for all of the details. It seems likely that Jose added his own developments to the area — especially since his was the first map of it at this scale.
