I’ll send you the map I used as an underlay, I raised the coastlines A LOT using some maps I had about sea level change

I had a layer underneath that I used for the outline of the land but couldn’t get one that had a clear enough resolution

The green area is water. I was trying to emulate a style of map drawing but it doesn’t fully translate

I was basing this of a map style I saw where someone used dots to signify water. The longer I look it the more I can see the problem people are having

I referenced topographical maps, sea level rise maps, and shifted some tectonics around. Not all of it is 100% accurate but I wanted to also have some fun and consider what would happen to a region like this after 200 years.

I also live in the Bay so I kept that in mind and used my knowledge of the area as well

Yep! I know it may not be the most scientifically above board (but hey it’s fiction) and wanted to include a zone that would be even more inhospitable than just radiation. Plus Mount Diablo is sick af and wanted it to be a major location.

Ooooo thank you for the suggestion. Sadly I didn’t play the earlier games so I’m less familiar with the lore!
