Did you recently (or not recently) map a cool area that you want to show? Something you are proud of? Post it here! A little explanation of why it is cool might help as well.

This is a small city in Belgium. The fortifications are a Vauban Fortress; but most parts of those medieval fortifications are now nature reserve (and protected as heritage). Some parts are open water, others are swamps.

However, most of the north-eastern side of the fortress was mapped as "forest" or something generic. After visiting it, I started micromapping this bit by bit. Upon saving and refreshing, the underlying structure of the fortress was suddenly visible, which was a nice surprise!
