Traversing the North and South islands.

Heading south, given the distance from Kingsborough to Bay City is 230 miles, going in the opposite direction some 220 miles, to the most northerly city on the North Island, appropriately named 'North Deal' (I did think about calling it 'New Deal' but decided against...) it comes to a total distance of 450 miles.

You couldn't miss The Kingsborough Islands on a real map.

But then this is fiction so use your imagination.

So the maps below might help put things in their place

(more to come soon).

Principal Cities and Towns

The Kingsborough region
Kevan James

The city of Kingsborough itself lies on the northeast corner of the South island. To the immediate east is Falmouth.
Shown below are the 203 original A3 sheets of my father's original map, set inside a wider and basic illustration of the Kingsborough/Jamesbury/Keffield area (drawn by me to provide a location perspective). The city of Keffield, although not the capital, is the largest urban area on the islands and is now home to the largest and busiest shipping port serving the islands. Originally the prime port of entry - for people and cargo - was Kingsborough itself, but traffic quickly outgrew the river and Falmouth become the port area. Once again the shallow inlet where the docks were located became insufficient and a new dock area was built at Victoria. This was not considered a long-term solution however and at the other end of the channel separating the north and south islands, the deep water at Keffield and the scope for expansion meant the city was a natural location for the primary port serving the islands.
Taken together, Kingsborough. Keffield, Jamesbury, Terrbridge, Cranmere and Farnhead on the northern edge of the south island, have a population of some 3 million people.
The second busiest port is at the appropriately named city of Port Brooks, to the west of South Bay, on the southern tip of the south island.
