Notes on C.W. Magee's USA map for use with Civilization II.
by C. W. Magee

This is a map of the continental U.S. and the surrounding areas.  
I have tried to be as accurate as possible in drawing features and 
interpreting climate and terrain, while at the same time retaining 
game functionality.  My primary source for this was the National 
Geographic Atlas of the World (revised sixth edition), augmented 
by satellite photos and personal knowledge where applicable.  Its 
features, which were chosen for either geographic or historical 
significance, include:
Lakes:
The Great Lakes
(the upper four are connected with each other, but separate 
from Lake Ontario, on the theory that Niarga Falls are not navigable)
Lake Pontechartrain
Great Salt Lake
Lake Tahoe
Lake Okeechobee
The southern end of Lake Winnipeg
Lake Champlain

Rivers:
The Mississippi
The Hudson
(both partially navigable)
The Missouri
The Tennessee
The Ohio
The Delaware
The Susquehanna
The James
The Roanoke
The Savannah
The Chattahoochee
The Red
Both Colorado Rivers (Texas and the Southwest)
The Rio Grande
The Pecos
The Green
The Snake
The Columbia 
The Sacramento
The Humbolt
and several others

Mountain ranges
The Sierra Nevada, Coast Ranges and Cascades in the west (with 
individual peaks for most of the cascade volcanoes)

The Sacramento, Sangre de Cristo, San Juan, Front Range, Wind 
River Range, Big Horn, Absaroka, and other major ranges of the 
Rocky Mountains

The Black hills, Ozarks, and Edwards plateau in the central U.S.

The Appalachians in the east.

Non-U.S. features
Some of Southern Canada
Northern and Central Mexico
Cuba
Jamaica
The Western half of Hispaniola
The Bahamas
Bermuda

Comments are always welcome, especially if the tell me how to move 
the whole map west so that I can add the rest of Maritime Canada.
