Hill of St. Leger

Once the height.tga has been done and the lines made a bit blurry, it is entered into landscape studio (software) and it creates the topography of the map. Here the hills of St. Leger emerge.

St. Leger's town will probably be about where a supply wagon is visible on the right hand side in the screenshot below of the foot of the hill further to the left. The flat area in the foreground will be swamp and river and a stream will be in the valley between the two hills. Putting in the water system will be my next step and one that I find a bit challenging.


You can see that they are a little "rough around the edges" on the one side. Some areas need to be smoothed out a little using the software.












































The area used for the map is from this section of a topographic map. The river level is much higher now, so much of what is depicted as North Fork Lake in the map will be lowland and swamp. The WIA roads will be entered similar to their position in the topographic maps
