Meandering River

Description
Enjoy building on the fertile floodplain of a large river. The water level is above the floodplain and only the natural levees keep the water from flooding the floodplain. The river is up to 12m deep and allows the passage of ships. Shipping lines follow the deeper channels in the river. The Yatzee tributary is up to 6m deep and no shipping lines are present. The Backswamps consists of oil and the bluffs/Alluvial terraces are forested.
Maximum number of outside connections except for shipping lines (2/4). Suitable for 9/25/81 tiles.

Reccomendations
I reccomend you use the Ferry's mod by S. Klyte to avoid spoiling the river with bridges!

Also, use the wonderful environment changer by BloodyPenguin to play the map to your desired biome.

Inspiration
Inspired by a textbook figure of a meandering river (Elemental Geosystems 7th edition by R.W. Christopherson, page 363) and the capital city Bern of Switzerland which is located very nicely on a meander.

Disclaimer
I used no graphic mods or LUT's, graphical settings are on minimum for the screenshots.
Roughly 50k trees used, plant more if your hardware allows!
