Mark’s Isle of Dawn North, 8 miles per hex

Although he brought his Isle of Dawn, 8 miles per hex map to a high degree of completion in April 2006, Mark became busy with other things for a while, and only returned to further detail it in September. At that time, he split it into two parts, north and south, and added labels, as well as some new settlements and other features.

He completed the northern section first. A large section is taken directly from TM2, with the northern tip and most of Dunadale and the eastern section based on Thibault’s map.

Strangely enough, Mark never reassembled these two pieces back into a full map — although he did create a far more detailed full version many years later.
