RoadKill and company released AlphaMapper which
immediately solved all our mapping woes. With the addition of this
tool, updates to the map archive will now be much more frequent.
There's been so much updated in the time between maps that I'm not
going to attempt to point them out. |

We got sick of waiting for AWMapper
to update so we decided to do our own maps using Andras's
tools. After yet another year of no updates, this map has a
TON of new juice. There is honestly too much new stuff to even
name here so I'm just gonna put up the really big stuff. Most
notable structures: Larger Eastern Ocean Expansion, Palm Grove
peninsula, *shrug* too much to name.

Like the previous update, we had to wait almost
another year for this one. This update brought about many gigantic
updates such as the "whitening" of the northern shores
of SW Island with Ilexus Forest and SWCI. It also revealed the newest
ocean expansions with it's newest island, Velothi. So many updates
on this one, its hard to keep track of them. Most notable
structures: Velothi Island + Ocean/River Expansion, Castle Pines,
SW City International Airport, Ferruccio's Palais Mountain, Ilexus
Forest, CJ Ranch |

Mapper went on quite the hiatus
and never updated for almost a year! >_< But when they
did update (out of the blue) the result was quite drastic. The
city grew a big blue tumor off the east shores which was the
biggest change. CJ Land also sprouted up a lot. Most
notable structures: Eastern Ocean Expansion, Palais d' Ferruccio,
Termani, Meta and Haratu Islands.

Another gigantic expansion to the Irenic Ocean.
This time it included two huge islands. Caturn Island to the south
of River District and Sybit n' Seawing islands located to the north
of Syntax Estates and Central SW City. Most notable
structures: Caturn, Sybit and Seawing Islands. |

This update revealed the construction
of big waterways. Another big change from the last map is if
you zoom into the SWGZ map, Town Square has changed totally!
Most notable structures: Vishara's River, Sundance, Nutin's
River, Cougar Lake, Mondary Village.

Wooo, this update is probably the biggest change
to the city since the grassing. Obviously, the ocean around the
city made the city an island, but it also brought other big changes
to the SW City map by creating different islands and other "natural"
structures like peninsulas and inlets. A few bridges have been constructed
across the ocean also to link us with the rest of AW. Most
notable structures: Irenic Ocean, Islanded Canyon River County,
inlets to Palm Sea and Rage lake, the completion of StoneRidge lake! |

November 2001 |

The one month difference between
the two updates (October to November) didn't leave much time
to get anything really noticable built. Also, most of the staff
were away on small breaks doing other things other than AW.
Most notable structures: Ilexus Forest lakes and
hills, Vyseus Park.

After a long 5 month wait, Mapper
finally updated to reveal tons of new juice in the city. On this
update, SW builders had 5 months to build so many new builds sprouted
up. All 5 subcommunities popped bigtime. Central District grew
down by the Palm Sea with Orton Strip Mall and Kithicor Forest.
Estate District with it's mountain range, densifying near Tranquility
Fountain and Saddle Creek. River District with Silver Valley.
Ridge District with Kope Hill and the Sea and finally, Palm District
with a couple islands. Most notable structures: Avatar
Mountains, Saddle Creek, Kithicor Forest, Rage Lake Urban Area. |

May 2001 |

This update showed how much work
each Governor did on their subcommunity. Syntax Estates seen
major condensation around the Tranquility Fountain. James River
spilled out in a rage of urbanization. Palm Grove erupted around
the shores of Palm Sea as you can see. The most notable feature
about CSWC was that it gained a small little area called Clandestinian
way out in the boonies of it's east side. Stoneridge remains
pretty much unchanged. Most notable structures:
Expansions added to Hyrule, SW Mesas, Ilexus Forest (North Syntax
Estates), Palm Sea Expansion.

Between November 2000 and February
2001, major construction took place to preserve future property
for SW City construction only. This was one of the smartest moves
the core staff taken. It has helped keep vandalism and land wars
in the city next to zero. Stoneridge (seen north of CSWC) was
also plopped onto the SW City scene. The biggest structure built
was obviously Palm Sea, the large sea seen in the south-southeast
area of the city. Most notable structures: Palm Sea,
Faldon Desert, Hyrule, Stoneridge, Rage River |

SW City continues to grow outwards
in all directions. The northern part of Syntax Estates hits
the Perimeter Sky Lane north (2000s) with the completion of
the SW City Object Yard. SW Chris finishes off what needed to
be done for the Citrus Mountains and Captain Mad Mike madly
expands south with Palm Grove. Central SW City sees some growth
(SW City Historical Pathways: North & Grass Cover: South)on
tips of its banana-like shape. Most
notable structures: Citrus Mountains, SW City Object Yard, Kappa
River Estates, disappearance of the giant desert in the SW corner
of the city.

Here you see SW City starting
to blossom into a full blown city. More "natural" structures such
as mountain, rivers and lakes are popping up. Syntax Estates exploded
with the construction of Tranquility Fountain and Rage Lake. The
first pieces of Palm Grove and James River (not named a subcommunity
until September) are build by SW Chris and Captain MAD Mike. As
you can see on the top part of the map, the Perimeter Sky Lane
has been constructed. Most Notable structures: Tranquility
Fountain, Citrus Mountains, SW Airport, Rage Lake. |

The pictures taken in May 2000
are the earliest recorded pictures taken of SW City. Mind you,
this map displays SW City as just over a year old! As you see
in the map, the growth in the city was slow during this year compared
to the quick expansion you will see in the upcoming maps. Most
notable structures: Elemental Stadium, SW Sea |
