Northern Hills & Hortobagy, around and east of Kovesd

Did this 80 x 20 mile section, stretching from Egri on the left to Nyirgelse on the right.  The Pfalz of Hortobagy is on the left of the dark yellow border; just south of this was mapped a few days ago.  Essentially, the region is a military province, a part of Transylvania, which pays tribute to the Ottoman Empire.  The Sanjak of the Northern Hills, on the right of the border, is occupied Ottoman land.   The border would be an common smuggler's refuge, especially with so much of it being scantily occupied.  I conveniently rolled a small forest with four hexes conjoined, just to the northwest of the large lake that appears in the middle.

I include any lakes or islands that are at least 2.67 mi. in diameter, that being a little more than a third of the 6.67 mi. hexes.  I find that anything smaller seems out of place.

The reader can see that the pieces come together very nicely, even as each new section demands a few minor adjustments from sections that have come before.
