Real location [google maps]

Spoiler

 

Elevation: from USGS 1/9 arc-second.
Surface Mask: used multispectral images from Sentinel-2 to do remote sensing.
Satellite: mix of Sentinel-2 and other sources.
Roads: The 3 MSRs are real, the rest were just added

Most tree/rock objects are randomly generated.
Towns and buildings were created in 3den.

 

The entire map is 2/5ths scale (x,y and z). Mainly done because of limitations in elevation and surface mask resolution.

A downside from using sat data is occasional detail in the sat that just doesn't show up at ground level. Also some problems with northern shadows on hills.

My first map, and I'm more of a coder, so keep your expectations in check :)

Looks good from the images. I'll download and explore once I'm home.

Thank you for your hard work. I just did a quick "Editor" look around and you have captured it. Well done.

Do you have plans on making it bigger?
