[Inspired by this Discord
Thread](https://discord.com/channels/1284581928254701718/1440439003160641667/1440439003160641667)

Some of the water features are adjusted for playability. NYC doesn't
have a ton of elevation differences, so marshland is replicated w/
highland noise. This is roughly placed to match
[Pre-WWI](https://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/newyorkcity-usgs-1915),
but allows maintaining the modern silhouette of the area. This 1901 map
is also the main inspiration for composition and projection. For the
Nations, British and Dutch Colonies along with Native Peoples make this
a bit of an amalgamation of the 17th - 20th centuries

Other elevation differences come from [Topographic
Map](https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/map-6sm14/New-York/?center=40.63067%2C-73.89158&zoom=11)
