Looks good so far. Nice coloring and the symbols look good as well. It'll be interesting to see the whole thing once it is finished.

Butch Curry just rocks don't he....
Nice work. Keep it up, I want to see more..
Looking very nice, Johnny! I would suggest lowering the opacity of the colors a bit--but that may be just my bias, for I often feel that way about Butch's maps too, so take that advice with a grain of salt.
Nice map--and a good post! Keep 'em comin'!

Here we are after another (short) night of work. I took out the mountains as they didn't really fit the scale. They were in there more as a test to see if I could anyway. I added roads, structures and text tonight. I struggled with where to place the label for the town itself. Another thought was to put it in the lower left corner and use a larger font. Any ideas there would be welcome. I think of the town as a small trading stop along a crossroads of growing importance near this particular lake. I tried to make the building layout flow from that idea as opposed to being a "small town that appeared next to a lake." Let me know if you think I accomplished my goal! I still have more to do, but I think it's coming along. And thank you for all the comments and encouragement thus far!!
the buildings seem a lil out of scale compared to the forests. but thats probably just me.
also, for the name, you could put that as a big title across the top, as that is the focus of the map.

Ah! It's looking good! A couple of things to think about.
1. Perhaps think about adding a dock where the buildings at the lake front are.
2. I would assume the building up in the cleared out patch of forest is supposed to be a logging camp? If so add a river that runs down to the industrial part of town where the Lumber could be processed to make the buildings that are sprouting up. Thats how its done in real life. If you did it that way you wouldn't have to waste manpower or use beasts of burden to get them where they needed to be, you just float em down stream.
Just a few suggestions. Keep up the good work!
