Yeah, that is something I am going to have to look at. To tell you the truth, I didn't realize that the town has as large as it was. I thought Population from around 600 to 1000 (broad, yes but hey) and now im hearing things like 6K.
Part of the cartography skills I am trying focus on includes the ability to make believable maps. Not always, as things like this months challenge would be hard to believe sometimes anyway, but for most maps that I will be working in at least in the beginning, realistic enough to not be ridiculous.
