Here is how.
A 1:1 scale map of the Exe Estuary and the surrounding area of south-east Devon (England, UK), covering some 604 km² (24.5 x 24.5 km) or 233 sq mi (15.3 x 15.3 mi).
Based on late 19th century maps, the map stretches from the historic city of Exeter to the Victorian seaside resort of Exmouth, and from Sidmouth on the Jurassic Coast to Teignmouth on the edge of the English Riviera.
The area is home to the Avocet Line, the northern section of the Riviera Line (including the Dawlish sea wall) and the all but forgotten Sidmouth Railway.
Features
- Detailed, 1:1 scale topography, including the Exe Estuary, Teign Estuary, rivers Otter, Sid, Clyst and their valleys, Haldon Hills, Exminster Marshes, and more.
- Authentic, hand-placed settlements, ranging from the sprawling city of Exeter to tiny hamlets nested among the rolling hills of Devon.
- Authentic, hand-built road network based on 19th century maps of the area.
- Semi-authentic, hand-placed industry, including many real-world farms, tree plantations, quarries, paper mills. Balanced for gameplay and featuring some of the traditional industries of this part of Devon, such as fishing and livestock farming, thanks to the Industry Expanded mod (which is required to play on this map).
