Twenty-five sample tiles for the land of San Diego County as it was in the rancho era, from the deep Pacific to the Colorado Desert, and the missions, villages and towns of the time.
Seven of the tiles in the current look and three alternatives. Each row paints the same patch of ground, so they compare like for like.
Roads are an overlay drawn on top of any land tile. A road always crosses a tile edge at its midpoint, so pieces in neighbouring tiles line up. At a fork the branch curves in to merge with the through road, and where no road runs straight through, the tile splits as a Y.
A west-to-east sketch from the ocean to the desert. Tiles of the same type share one continuous texture and have no edge between them. A coast road runs north to south through a town by the bay. Inland, the road passes a village and forks toward the mountains and the desert, with a spur to a ranch house.
