Here is where I have set my bar... for better or worse...

Apparently you can get a simple image like this printed out as a 'blueprint' at office max for about $1.79...

I have a roll of paper (which conveniently matches the width of the blueprint paper 18") and it is just thin enough to see some of the darker lines. So I have my outline and roads marked off.

I'll do some more planning in paint.net before I get too carried away on the paper. But, in case anyone was wondering about the scale I am planning on working with...

It's kind of nerve racking and exciting all at the same time. I did say I was going big or going home right?

Depending on how this turn out, this may go on my wall...
