Island Maps

That part of my brain that deals with scale doesn't work very well. And these maps didn't list them in the book. So what would you make the scale for these?
These are part of the Azores
flipped around for fantastization.
And this is Tenerife
flipped to camouflage it from your TinerfeƱo/a players.

  1. 3 or 4 miles to an inch at 72 full size ?

  2. Very cool looking. Taking a gander at them, they appear to be rather small islands with single peaks in the center. Kind of like Gilligan's' Isle.

    If you want a starting point to tinker with, Google Maps is pretty handy. The smaller island from the Azores looks to be about 6 miles across in real life.

  4. Thanks all. Yeah Paul, I was thinking of Google Maps, after posting. Crazy that we have, not just satellite images, but up to date street views of these places all across the globe.

    I mean, your link lets you see the collapsed crater on top of that small island Pico. Crazy.
