Map-Riddle

Hi gentlemens

I´ve invested a lot of hours to build up a big part of a map.

This was a 98% copy from google-maps.

All points on the map are "reference points" and the same points have been transferred to a google-map.

With a transparent windows-mode you can overlay both windows and built up the map.

old version: http://glass2k.softonic.de/universaldownloader-launch

The results are amazing - I think, but take a look ,self if you can

I attached a picture. On the map in the east you can see a industrial town.

I want to have the name of this small town.

Hints:

1.The city is located southwest of the great city that gave the map its name

2.The Lake in the west is new (1980) and a cooling pond of a nuclear powerplant that is not the smallest in europe. ,ups

3. map is in europe

4.important railroad crossway in the near of a border

5. surrounding area was the place of a great and hard conflict some years ago

The first 3 people who send me a pm with the the right name of this town are getting a link from me with the latest version of this map.

good luck !

Congratultion to sabot_ready !

He sents the right answer and take the map.

Hoping he Have a lot of fun with it .

@all:

Hint 6: east europe

Congratulation to Gary Owen he entered the 2nd place in this riddle.

Last hints:

1.) 240 Mio. years ago (+/- 80 Mio) a meteorit crashed in the west of the map. This big whole has a size than more as 6000 m

2.) The summer of 1943 was very very hot in this area..... :diable:

3.) Its not Tschernobyl (no hgt available)

I think this hints are enough, if you cant find it out ask your grandpa

3rd place: GH_Lieste

Ok 3 people find it out wich town was searched.

Tsvertovo was the right answer and this is southwest of KURSK

The rest can download this map after x-mas I think.

Thanks for the efforts

The map is gorgeous.

It looks like they had a standard design for the nuclear plant construction. The plant at Tschernobyl and at Kursk are very simillar in lay out although in a diffrent orientation.

@Gary_Owen: Thanks for the flowers.

I´ve made many maps, but this is really the catchiest of all and I need a little Distance of gardening for a while. :shocked:

Herzlich dank for this beautiful map !
