230 miles south from Kingsborough lies the island's 'second city'
(colloquially referred to as the Bay City),
it is the hub of business and across the bay, tourism.
The Restoration
Kevan James
Starting as far as possible from the City of Kingsborough itself (about 230 miles) and whilst staying on the island, 'The South' is comprised of the Great South Bay and it's constituent communities.
From west to east we find 'Refinery Peninsula', then the main city (as yet un-named but temporarily called 'Bay City'....a bit unimaginative but it will do for now) followed by Christbourne and Port Jasper. Lastly forming the eastern side of the bay is the Woodford Pensinsula.
Shown here is the Refinery Peninsula, so named because of the small oil refinery located halfway down.
On the left is the ocean and the right is the mouth of the river that separates the peninsula from the city and the bay.
There are fourteen A3 sheets making up this part of the map. When I started my renewal programme, I began with the Great South Bay and the very last sheet reworked - after all 250 of the others - was the southernmost tip of the Refinery Peninsula.
So I finished where I began, the deep south.
On the left are the original drawings, the right is the digital version.
