Roleplay Map: Smolesk Nuclear Containment Zone

Description

This is the digitally reworked version of a map a friend of mine drew for a Cyberpunk 2020 plot a long time ago. I recently recovered the map from old documents and did this digital repaint to use it for my Shadowrun campaign. The complete area is fictional and has nothing to do with any existing place.

The storyline behind this map is an accident in the very small nuclear power plant of smolesk, which caused nuclear fallout in a relatively small area around the plant. This caused the government to declare a 20 kilometer radius around the plant to be a military containment zone. Also, order was given to erect a miilitary kordon around the facility and the nearby villages of Smolesk and Avar and evacuate the village of Gobron.

The whole area is still heavily irradiated and dangerous, in addition, the kordon is offensively patrolled by military personell and drones and is equipped with sensors and automated weapon systems.
Around the kordon, all vegetation has been cleared 50 meters on both sides. The primary defensive structure is a wall composed of concrete segments, 3,5 meters high and half a meter thick, with a roll of razor wire and a lot of high powered floodlights on top. The wall features a rail on the outside, two and a half meters above ground, on which a number of automated machinegun drones can move alongside the perimeter. Before the wall is a paved road for soldiers and military vehicles on patrol. 10 meters up front is a 2 meters high chain-link fence topped with strips of barbed wire. The chain-link fence is mildly electrified, not to kill, but to hurt and also to detect anyone touching or breaking the fence. In proximity to the roads surrounding the containment  zone, anti-tank barriers are positioned in front of the fence to stop vehicles from crushing through.
In the south of the area the kordon passes the flank of Rushnik peak, which is very rough and steep territory. Therefore, there's no patrol road and no electronic fence, just the bare wall with the rail system.

Near Smolesk and outside of the kordon is the encampment of the armed forces that protect the area. There are roundabout 120 soldiers on site a all times, mainly at the base. The gates have a permanent guard crew of 10, while there are always between 5 and 10 teams of 4 to 5 soldiers on patrol. The soldiers are equipped with a total of 8 armored personel carriers, 12 armored cars and a few combat drones, both aerial and ground-based. Since I'm using the map for shadowrun, they also got bhargests as watchdogs and a combat mage with some watchers and maybe one or two lesser spirits on patrol.

Done completely with Gimp.

Actually, when it's nuclear fallout, the more accurate term is "Exclusion Zone." Other than that, very nice work.
