USA Mega International
USA with Cities and Industries. Megalomaniac size, 170:1, made with real heightmaps.
This uses industries based on actual US agricultural, manufacturing and other statistics. Placement is based on major industrial centers, and somewhat sparse, which may be challenging.
You will need to have Experimental Mode on in order to use Megalomaniac size maps like this one.
America’s bread basket in Kansas, oil country in Texas. And then added some famous and semi-famous industries and industrial regions. Coal in the Appalachian mountains. The Florida farms around Lake Okeechobee and the (Cheney Bros) food processing plant to its west. But also the Machine Shops representing NASA JPL, where actual rocket scientists work, MIT/Syyn Labs in Cambridge, MA (Boston), and Boeing in Seattle, WA. Even oil’s horrifying history is included, with the BP Deep Water Oil well offshore New Orleans, Louisiana.
Includes international destinations that fall within the map’s rectangle: Montreal and Toronto in Canada, Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, and in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Cuba, Bermuda, and Turks and Caicos.
Notes on Scale:
The Megalomaniac 2:1 map size used here is 33km x 16.5km:

The United States is roughly 3000mi wide, although I include a fair bit of ocean so perhaps, 3500mi of Earth on this map. That’s about 5600km. That comes to a scale of about 170:1. So, that’s why a single house in New York takes up all of downtown Manhattan. That said, this map is still big enough to get a Pioneer Zephyr leaving Chicago up to 110mph before reaching California.
For more industries and less travel distance, there’s a version that uses 100 randomly generated industries instead:
