The Environs of GarouMUSH

From the in-MUSH 'news geography':

Circle Keeper's map

GarouMUSH is set in and around the fictitious city of Saint Claire, in Washington State, and the Caern of the Hidden Walk, a powerful caern near that city. Originally a mining town, St. Claire has grown into a modern center of trade with roughly a million people, and has all the facilities (and problems) of a city that size. It has several suburbs, all to the west of the city. Most of the land to the east of town is forested, either National or State Park land, or private land, with the exception of Kent Crossing Township.

St. Claire sits at a point where the Columbia River runs roughly north-south, and where US Interstate 90 crosses that river. The admins and founders of the MUSH are aware that this area is neither forested, lush, nor well-inhabited in RL (it's apparently a desert where they grow onions); there's no need to clue them in if you're from this area, as we're all pretty happy with our illusion.

St. Claire is the county seat of Gerlord County which includes St. Claire and the western suburbs thereof. The boundary between Gerlord County and Regan County to the east is the Columbia River. Hence, St. Claire didn't expand east past the county line (the river) but instead westward.

Additionally, St. Claire's police force has no legal jurisdiction east of the Columbia River which has its own county sheriff's department and county commissioner.

Megan also compiled a table of Jump OK Rooms, awesome for getting around the grid quickly OOCly.
