Turnpike Distance Guides

I have been correcting continuity errors in the locality maps, while also working on the distance guides. I have decided to make a distance table for the turnpikes, which will be the fastest marching routes in the campaign theatre. I have been checking the distances on the Northwest Turnpike, which runs from Cacapon Bridge (now called Capon Bridge) to Claysville, east-west across the campaign theatre. 

The distance between the two end points in THE WINTER WAR simulation campaign theatre is 45 miles. The actual distance is 43 miles. This difference comes from rounding up distances between towns. All distances in the simulation will be measured in miles using whole numbers.  Here is the distance chart for localities in the simulation along the Northwest Turnpike:

 Neffs is no longer present on modern maps, but is near Junction, WV, which is part of the Neffs locality map. Burretsville was in the area of Augusta, WV. Blues Gap is Hanging Rock, WV. Parke's Hollow is now called Parks Valley, near around Loom, WV.
