Apologies for not attaching things correctly the first time. I am not sure what I did differently this time to stop the attachment from loading, but I am hoping one of the Great and All Powerful Forum Overseers could step in and lend a hand (if they have not already! and many thanks if you already have!)

In order to help troubleshoot I will try another attachment on this post. The last was a 3MB .gif, and this latest will be a 4MB .jpg. Let us see if that is any better!



Also, thanks all for the comments! It helps! Now the pressure is on to keep it looking good.

I did not see any parks, or I missed them.

I guess I should have warned you guys that I am using some very light gray lines, which may require some zooming and squinting. Since I am working with vectors right now I am hoping to spend some time at the end fiddling with lineweights, etc. to not only match the Ordinance map style but also to make this more legible.

You said it's an older map style, but a more modern time, yes?

That is generally correct.

What program did you use to draw this with?

I am using a CAD program (Draftsight) with some help from GIMP to switch between filetypes.

The city doesn't have a clear downtown. The type of buildings, I'm guessing are row houses really reminds me of the Sunset District in San Francisco, CA. For more accuracy with the passage of time, you should add out buildings in the backyards of some of the houses and more variety in the shapes of the houses, since people tend to add rooms as time passes.

The downtown area is not complete, but will be the denser core of the town, so I will keep your advice in mind as I continue to develop that area.
