Draft Elevation Map!

Following the advice of OGF's Making Realistic Countries, I used Inkscape to trace Embla and draw a preliminary elevation map:



Which I then used to imagine some major waterways, mostly rivers and some lakes:

And then from there, I placed cities and large towns where people might be most likely to settle:
I'm definitely going to continue to tweak the elevation model and the rivers. I wanted district/state boundaries to be based on watershed-type areas. I have to think about the terrain outside of my country boundaries as well, to make things look continuous and more realistic. I'm very happy with this rough draft though!

Revised Elevation Map

I spent some more time playing around with the river systems and decided to shift things from the last draft. I'm not sure about the lake geography. I'm going to try to look for examples of other lakes to better refine the size. I definitely want some kind of large-ish lake in the middle, but there will be other finger lakes in the northern mountains, I haven't reached that level of detail yet. Next steps are tracing this map into JOSM to get a rough outline of rivers and some administrative boundaries. The dotted lines are what I envision as states/districts/region type things. The Northern district is the biggest but also likely the less populated. The middle two will probably have about even population, the capital city is in the middle district at the mouth of the largest river. I'm excited to design that area eventually. The southern two districts are much smaller. I'm not sure if having them split into two is justified unless there was another major city cente

River Refining + Mountain Range Design

Image
I'm continuing to build out my riparian system for Embla. I've also been working a lot on a Conlang/naming language, which has got me really excited about putting more things on the map! I was worried my previous rivers weren't at a realistic scale or pattern for the type of mountain range I had in mind. I have been looking on OpenTopo map for a lot of mountain range inspiration! Something I have found extremely helpful is to practice tracing real mountain ranges & river systems on Inkscape. Using the regular pencil tool, trace a rough line along the highest ridges of a small portion of a range. I color this red for contrast, then start in blue to color the rivers/streams. After doing this a couple times, it's given me a much better feel for how the rivers actually look in the type of range I want to create in west-central Embla. Here's what I have ended up with: The greyed out background is the currently uploaded river system. Blue is new rivers, red are
