I'm not too keen on either maps. From experience, those small strips of land at the top of the map are realllly annoying to landscape in my opinion (unless you like them). I also don't like centralized plazas with a river like that unless your intention is to make a symmetrical town. It's also a pretty common map so idk. However, only you can really decide because it's different when you're actually running around and seeing it in person. Are there any qualities in maps you look for in particular? For example, I like natural towns so I prefer lots of ponds and winding rivers, but I know that's not what most people look for. In the maps you have posted, the second one looks like it will have more space for PWPs and resident houses. Good luck with your new town!
Nvm I just read that you chose the first option
