sirjonsnow’s Safari Island, 8 miles per hex
This is the second map that Reddit user sirjonsnow shared in January 2021. It’s a beautiful, modern rendition of GAZ4’s Safari Island map, made in Wonderdraft. Not only did he update the art of the original map, but he also added an 8 mile hex grid to match the nation’s hex map. He then incorporated all the extra details from TM1 — named volcanoes, labels for the towers, and so on. Finally, he even added a new label for the lighthouse that had gone unnamed up until now.
