This is what I see when I search shanty towns. I don't know how towns are like back in the 1940s and early 1950s that were in the desert.

I am suddenly getting the impression of a bad spray tan... Looks fairly solid, keep adding on!

Your towns/cities are horrible in general. Since when are they ever that spread out. You dont really want a shanty town, you want a small desert town with a highway running through it.

I was considering a highway. I don't think I need a real one though as most of them were just dirt roads and two lane roads for the most part and cars were lucky to hit 40 mph at that time so the YARN roads should do unless I find out otherwise, then I'll change the scenery accordingly but I'll remember that next time I make a desert town.

Thats not what highways were first off. And second thats fine if you want your town looking like an unrealistic piece of garbage, you do always find a reason to shrug off ones suggestions. Even tho you ask for some feedback.

Well could you send me a picture of a desert town so I have something to go off of?

I have two proposals of the desert town:

​Problem is the housing. I have to figure what they looked like in the 1940s in the middle of the desert.

Why would people in the 1940's live in the desert ? Was their chance of a lifetime job revolving around mining Boraxo. Were they living on water from deep wells, and eating "sand" wich's, tumble weeds, and cactus juice ? Try modeling area 51, or Las Vegas. Your routes are just so un-realistic.

Go on Google earth and look up some towns like Winslow AZ
