Hello!

I have currently decided to work on a city map of my fictional port city, Magarac Bay, NJ.

According to the location, the area in RL is in a Wildlife Management Area in southern New Jersey and located down stream from Philedelphia. So, as I was doing research, I figured this would be a nigh-perfect spot for an industrial city and with a bit of snipping tools I decided that I would begin mapping my city.

My main inspirations have been Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Gotham City.

I am also hoping to make this a bit of a modern map. My question is, how do you choose how much land to take up with your map and how to plan a city. I know this is very broad question but I am flying blind here and wondering what others would advise.
