My low-effort brag-post for this week is showing the “twin towns” of Glensheen and Paine River, in the southeast part of the state of Makaska. Like all of region surrounding metropolitan Ohunkagan, these towns are currently stuck in a time-warp, sometime around 1920, as I try to develop the whole region chronologically. In the 1920’s, Glensheen, with its active port and industrial base, far exceeded Paine River in size. However, my expectation is that by the contemporary era, the towns will have equalized in size, as the industrial base in Glensheen declines and the exurban clout of Paine River grows. Paine River will be the modern southernmost terminus of a commuter rail line all up and down the “Silicon Shore” south of central Ohunkagan. The farm and forestlands are still a bit schematic, and need detailing, but the basics are definitely in place. I’m particularly pleased with how you can see the interaction of topography and landuse in the topo view.

Here is the area in regular view.

My low-effort brag-post for this week is the central part of a city called Midesapa, in the northern part of the state of Makaska. It’s a rust-belt city on a river that connects two large lakes, so in that sense it occupies an economic position similar to Detroit, but it’s a much smaller city, with maybe 200k in the metropolitan area. There is still much detailing to be added but the basics are there.
