Strange Orange's Dayton, OH Central

This is a playable map of Dayton, Ohio in the United States of America. It was created using the wonderful terrain heightmapping tool located at http://terrain.party/ and the heightmap has been slightly altered for suitability purposes. Other resources used are: Google Maps ( http://maps.google.com/ ), Google Earth ( http://earth.google.com/ ), ArcGIS ( http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html ), and the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Railroad Administration map ( http://fragis.fra.dot.gov/GISFRASafety/ ).

Dayton, colloquially known as the "Gem City", is located almost halfway between Cincinnati and the state's capital, Columbus, on the Great Miami River. In the heyday of river transport, Dayton saw much traffic in the canal which ran all the way up to Lake Erie. However, Dayton is best-known for being home to the inventors of flight, Orville and Wilbur Wright, and the great African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. In the present day, Dayton is a major site for advancements in aerospace technologies and hosts the largest Air Force base in the entire United States.

This map includes:
-Great Miami, Stillwater, and Mad Rivers, and Wolf Creek
-Eastwood and Blue Lakes, and nearby bodies of water
-Highways US-35 and I-75 inside the playable area including in the starting tile
-Highway US-675 outside the playable area for some flavor to the scenery
-National Museum of the USAF outside the playable area for extra flavor
-Two railways, converging and then later diverging
-Two airplane paths, in the North and the South
-Some arable land (difficult because it's a major city)
-Scarce ore deposits
-No oil
-Trees!

Notes:
-US-675 does not host any outside connections and is merely for show
-Some areas of highway are raised where they would be at ground level and instead the ground would be raised
-Airplane paths are probably a little inaccurate due to that there are no airports within the playable area
-The map itself is centered on the exact geological and cartographic center of Dayton

I feel like with how often they do construction on 75/35 you'd have to constantly update this map :steamhappy: too bad it cant be bigger to include I-70 and Dayton International Airport, which is in Vandalia

balmerjd, I didn't feel like OH-4 was necessary to include on the map, and that it might have cluttered things up. Also, traffic would probably get stuck there, haha.

Major Lee Retarded, thank you. :)

I'll say, you did a great job, since I'm from Dayton...

*I felt the map would be incomplete without it.

Thank you! I did put a lot of time into that interchange- and then I had to remove half of it, put the train lines through it, and redo it over the train lines. It was a pain in the ass but I wanted to keep the map as accurate as I could.

US-675 is very close to the right edge of the entire map and is very far outside the playable area. Even though people will likely never see it outside of the map editor, I decided to put it in because I felt the map would be complete without it.

Cool. You clearly put some time into the overly complicated I-75 & US-35 interchange. You mention 675, but I don't see it.
