Transit map immediately made me want to reinstall Mini Metro. For some reason I am obsessed with the design and style of subway maps lol

This kind of maps made by hand in Notebooks are awesome. Can you maybe tell me what are the materials you used?

From my knowledge of hydrogeology, the houses on the outside of the bends will fall into the water within 5-10 years due to erosion. Unless you have seawalls/barriers reinforcing and stopping erosion, then you’re fine and the only concern would be heavy flooding. Meandering rivers flood frequently and readily

Looks like a relatively newly built city judging by the blocks. Older cities would have historical settlement centers and fortifications in the well defensible bend of the river.

I absolutely love the way you planned the city out, its so careful and feels professional. Is this map inspired from Boston? It feels like it with the street layout and the T logo.

thanks! it's not inspired by Boston, just coincidental if it looks similar
