    Default Per my original scale, no...

    Gamerprinter, does the scale on those look correct to you? Based on that grid the PCs could simply hop over the rivers/streams.
    Per my original intended scale, no. The trees seem more like bushes and the river more like a stream.

    However in Valarian's defense, except for the trees, this map is useful in whatever scale best meets its user's needs. Although I picture a larger scale with 40 foot minimum drop at the higher waterfalls, the user could see something like a total of 20 foot drop from the top of the upper falls and the bottom of the lower falls - the graphics work either way, thus a universality in the design technique.

    But RP, you are quite correct in your assumption that the scale has been reduced to 25% its original.

    The tokens are 50px scale. Based on the original image size and how this loaded in the VTTs, I interpreted the image as a hillside with a stream waterfalls and pool. The image works well. If you were to scale up the size of the image, it would work as a river gorge.
