Next map?

I have been debating which TC2M modded map to start next.  I had been leaning towards Fort Van Meter and making it a proxy for the area with North Fork from the WIA simulation as a base. However, now I am thinking of making Fort Van Meter (south of Romney) as an original map using the actual topographic map. (It is located across the river from Sector, WV.)

But which map to start next...   With the reduction in the scope of the campaign theatre that I recently announced, there are only six maps left to create:

1. Fort Van Meter (south of Romney and west of Bethel Church)

2. Claysville (south of New Creek Depot and west of Ridgeville)

3. New Creek Depot (a critical rail depot for the Federals which lies west of Paddytown, north of Claysville and south of Crespatown).

4. Crespatown, MD (south of Cumberland, west of Short Gap, north of New Creek)

5. Cumberland, MD (Federal base of supply in the northwest corner of the campaign theater)

6. Bloomery Gap (Confederate base of supply at the northeast corner of the campaign theater)


Cumberland will definitely be the most difficult and time consuming, with lots of houses, a curving railroad line and a river. New Creek Depot and Crespatown also have a river and rail line. Bloomery Gap and Claysville will be the easiest, with no railroad or river.  I am leaning towards New Creek Depot, for no particular reason, but will see which one I actually start when I get the time.
