Obukhiv


 

This 40x20 mile section of Kiyev Oblast was created for a reader because he asked.  I suspect he's living in the city of Obukhiv as we sit, which is all of 21 miles from Kyiv.  And he is a D&D player.

The map isn't accurate to GoogleEarth.  There, the Stuhna appears to be a trickle that never reaches the Dneiper.  I suspect it's part of Kiyev's water supply, or perhaps just for the area which is quite dense.  The valley is clearly there and suggests a much larger river, which I've created.  The lake near Obukhiv isn't included because it's too small, barely a mile across.

All the towns are real places.

I make more of these kinds of map on this blog.

  1. It is very accurate - lake at stugna is artificial (sand). Land around Obukhiv has a lot of hills - and some of them with evergreen trees.
    Also need to mention - village on coast of Dnipro near of Stugna - Trypillia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trypillia
