Sylamore Update

After a previous failed attempt, work has resumed on a map for Sylamore.  The historic town of Sylamore was the scene of a skirmish during the war and was located on the west side of the White River (opposite its current location).  Tomahawk was a highly fictionalized version of the Tomahawk in Searcy County.  Because Sylamore is a critical river crossing in THE OZARKS CAMPAIGN command simulation, more effort will be put into the map for the terrain. An attempt will be made to base to simulation map on the actual topography of the  area. 

For players in the ENTERING THE OZARKS simulation, the TC2M Shiloh map will be used as a proxy for Sylamore until the WIA map is finished.  For the players' reference, however, the map is using this portion of a topographic map for the area (actually the joint between the Fifty-Six and Sylamore Quandrants) with the WIA road network being placed on the map roughly as show below:
