PC4 La Vallée des Loups, 1 mile per hex
PC4 introduced the only 1 mile per hex poster map that would ever appear in official publications. It wasn’t the first map made at this scale, but it was the first to cover such a wide area at this level of detail.
This super-large scale map delves into the area of Morlay-Malinbois, the eponymous “Valley of Wolves”. It’s a fundamentally different beast from the usual 8 mile hex maps, providing a wealth of detail that would be impossible at a smaller scale.
The pioneering 1 mile per hex scale was later taken up by fan cartographers, most notably the work of Robin, and for Glantri Emanuele Betti and of course Michael Berry — both of whom were inspired to expand this map to cover the whole nation at this scale.
