Map of the New Forest

So, did you mean to say that the original was made in 1830, before the New/Old Milton split?

There are some automobiles pictured, so I think 1930 is accurate.

I'd love to live in a place with 1000+ years of history. That's really cool.

History can crop up in strange places. I was born in a crap village in the Black Country. We moved away when I was four and I never went back until I was in my late twenties. Found out that it dates back to around 600 AD, and for a while was even the capital of Mercia.

Stone, actually, a bit to the north-west of Tamworth.

My parents used to have a set of three old (about 1750s-1830s) illustrated maps of Staffordshire, Cheshire and Shropshire. Framed originals, not reproductions. They picked them up at a car boot sale back in the 1970s. I wonder if they still have them ...

Some oceanic islands have only been populated for a few centuries. Perhaps Aeson lives on St Helena?

OP map would only need a few small changes to work for a DnD campaign. Especially if your players are not familiar with the south of England.

Meh, we dig up flint arrowheads in our garden.

Unless the island is newly emerged due to volcanic activity even islands have wildlife. Humans aren't the only organisms on the planet.
