Great Lakes v5.1

Explore the Great Lakes, carve your empire out of the north woods, roll your panzers across 
the endless praries of the Midwest! This map allows you to play civilization in the Great
Lakes region.

I developed this map using graph paper, an atlas, and my personal knowledge of the area.
The starting locations are Toronto, Cleveland, Detroit, Sault Ste. Marie, Green Bay,
Chicago, Thunder Bay, Minneapolis, Des Moines, Winnipeg and Timmins, Ontario.
I do not reccomen playing Timmins, it exists for gameplay balance reasons only
( without it the northern civs become far too large ). I have extensively playtested this 
map and it is sound. Where the eastern and western edges of the map meet I have carried 
parts of the West over into the East so that there isnt a straight line seam running down
the map. Parts what would be central Pennsylvania are actually western Iowa, Winnipeg is 
North of Toronto.
