LoZompatore’s Northwestern Platea, 8 miles per hex

After Michele introduced his Platea project and solicited community contributions, Sean Meaney posted a number of work-in-progress Platea maps at the 8 mile per hex scale. Michele then modified one of Sean’s maps, resulting in the map below. He posted two different versions, of which the latest is below, followed by an earlier version; both maps are very similar.

Unfortunately I have been unable to find a completed version of this map, although it looks as if most of the empty gaps in the mountains could be filled in with mountain hexes. It’s also interesting to see how Sean used the mountain art to establish valleys in the mountains.
