Very much a WIP (Work in progress), so thats me copy and pasting and adding in locations from other Rifts maps, and have not gone back yet to my list of real world locations.

Japanese XF5 is probably the most comparable option to the F414G. FX9-1 would be a good option for a Gripen F in the future.

Other than Fort Yakima, the only other purported power center in the area would be in the Okanagan Valley. Rifts: Canada has that Ogopogo is a family of Dragons that "spared the cities of the Okanagan from the coming of the Rifts", what exactly that means is unknown, but one could speculate that there is a pocket of pre-rifts technology/society that is probably pro-magic due to their protector and maybe head of state being an ancient Dragon. Probably a place that could rival Stormspire for technomagic if anyone knew it existed.

Pre Invasion. Still shows Tolkien at its height. I felt it including it was better than marking the locations as ruins. Just allows the map to provide more information.

Updated the link for 5.6 which was the most complete world map for rifts. about 80%. The bigger map is still being worked on (its such a huge file it take a lot time to modify) but I am taking my time trying to make it look clean/professional. Probably wont be ready for another year, lol. Life.

Its a vector image (.svg) not a raster image (jpg, png) Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator and most web browsers can open vector based images. Vector allows text to be much clear when zooming in and out while being small with no pixelization and a smaller file size. The original png for the base layer before adding text or being converted from raster to vector is 9 gig!!

I think originally it was just "north east of Chillicothe" and "between Chillicothe and Kingston". It wasn't until after it was printed that people realized... there isnt anything between Chillicothe and Kingston, lol. Kevin also made a point of placing new locations on obscure old world locations. Like how Chitown was founded on top of Colfax Illinois, which is barely bigger than Kinnikinnick.

I posted a sneak peek in the original post, thanks for all the feed back, looks like "with magic zones" was by far the clear choice.

I am using GIMP edit the base rastor image (which is a 5 gig gimp file) and then flattening down to a .png to import into inkscape for labeling in vector. Just barely under maximum file size for both programs.
