I started by drawing the rivers. I superimposed the (then totally blank, white) map_c on top of the map_h. Then I just followed the river valleys and corrected later by referencing with 1:200,000 maps. Since the rivers are everywhere, I could then get the towns. Once I had the towns, I could put in the roads.
The forests I got from the 1:200,000 maps as well. They are almost everywhere on the north and western part of the map. There is far less "clear" area than forest.
Yes, it would be easy to put in a few "emergency" strips on both the western and eastern edges of the map and this would open it up. As it is, the eastern 1/8 of the map in particular is not that usable as it is not serviced by any air strips.
I am going to have to halt populating for a month or so as my old (2005) computer is maxed out and no longer really capable of processing the actors.static. I am awaiting delivery of a brand new rig with 8 GB RAM and this should be good to go to finish.
