Brooks Range looks ok, though it's hard to tell the features since I can't enlarge the map.
Thanks. Don't worry about how the features look -- these are lo-res images just to tell one type of terrain from another.
The Alaska Range looks ok going down to the peninsula. The area just south of the turn off of the ALCAN is a bit to cluttered for me. Maybe take a few of the mountain hexes out. I like the way it is displayed in the original map.
We'll take another look at this. Everywhere in Alaska and Canada between the two mountain ranges is a tough call -- you can make pretty much every hex a mountain hex or a wooded hex, since they were heavily forested mountains.
Here's a link to a good map of the mountains and rivers. It's to large to post.
Thanks again. The UTexas maps were among those that we used. The topo map is a nice addition. I hadn't seen that.
Did the Alaska RR go from ANC to FAI? I don't recall. The ALCAN looks good also, though I'm not sure when the Glenn Highway going to ANC was built. I don't think it was built during the war.
The Alaska RR ran from Seward, through Anchorage (which started in 1915 as the construction base for the railroad) to Fairbanks. The Glenn highway was built during the war to connect Anchorage to the Alcan highway, also under construction. The Glenn highway stretch was completed in 1943.
I alsway thought Kodiak Island looked wimpy. Wish it could be fixed.
You and me both. It's Alaska's largest island, 60 miles wide in places (a full hex), and 100 miles long. It sure doesn't look that way on the map. The Kenai peninsula also looks shrunken and squashed together.
