Actually thinking about it, I think thebax has a point. Perhaps you should reverse the inset and have the zoomed out view in the little box since most of the interest (at the moment) is in the detail view.

Heh. That's not happening. For one thing, I built this map for the mapping challenge, and I just don't have the time to entirely remake it with the deadline looming. For another, a larger village map will require a different style for the buildings. These simple blocks just won't cut it at higher resolutions. They're just barely adequate at this size.
Besides, those trees are just too pretty to shrink!
Maybe I'll do another of the hallows later on with that idea in mind. Galerius should be similar, and I might be able to use that one to develop a style more suitable for a closer view.

did you want the scale to be 100 feet in the enlarged area and not yards
at the hundred foot scale some of the buildings would be 5'x5'
Hmmm... that's not right. The smallest should be about 6.5 by 8 feet. It looks like I made the farmhouses tiny. They should be much larger than they are. Okay, one more thing for the list...

An update with some of the suggested changes.

Added some labels to the overview map. I'll add a wiki entry tonight, probably.

Looks great. My only comment is that I'd like to know where the trail goes to that goes SW and also the trail going E. And what do you mean by Industry to the west - is that a place or just that all of the town's industry is off to the west?
