Adelaide

Adelaide, South Australia, built from real elevation data on a Very Large (16.4 × 16.4 km) map.The map runs from Outer Harbor and the Port River in the north-west to Brighton in the south-west, and east over the Hills Face to Stirling and Hahndorf in the southern Adelaide Hills and Kersbrook in the north. The real area is about 35 km east-west and north-south, squeezed onto the map, with the hills scaled down so they stay buildable. Mount Lofty tops out just under the snow line.What's in it:- A real coastline from OpenStreetMap, with the Port River, Barker Inlet and West Lakes.- The River Torrens holds water from the gorge mouth to the sea. A dry gorge continues up into the hills.- Several passes wind up through the hills (Torrens Gorge, the north, the far south and two more), so you can get rail into the hills without endless tunnels.- Vegetation from biome masks: dry golden plains, brown coastal flats, gum-lined (if you squint - darn Northern hemisphere bias!) creeks across the plain, woodland in the gullies, open green hill country, and conifers and rocks in the gorges.- The heightmap is cleaned up: no seams between datasets, no spikes, a smooth beach slope.Credits: coastline, waterways and places © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
