Style V Maps

Style 5 maps show a rectangle of 7 miles wide by 6 miles high.  A 6-mile hex is superimposed over the rectangle, to give an idea of the border of the 6 mile hexes in the Type IV map matches up.  This map is quite simular to the Judge's Guild Campaign Hexagon System, with the exception that it is not set to a 5 mile hex area.

Within this area, it is gridded out into 1/4th Mile squares, each about 40 acres in area.  (Each of these more or less corresponds with a USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map, btw.)  it is a good scale for mapping a forest, swamp, canyon, etc.  A manor or a village would easily fit into one of the 1/4 mile squares on this map.

(The Style IV map is found in Hexbook 001 & Hexbook 002, but Hexbook 005 is almost entirely devoted to this map.)
