Well, I wasn't certain if a map for this region was created or not, but because I was bored and had time, I made up a quick rendition of what I presume Gamos Region looks like.
As you can see, it was quickly done, so details such as topography are not included; however, there is color coding for what kind of terrain their might be.
Here is a cleaner version of the one above.
Here is the topographic map. Remember, the lighter the color, the higher the elevation.
Locations
Red: Towns/Cities/Pokémon League
Yellow: Forests/Mountains/Caves... etc
Sky Blue: Lakes
Orange: Routes
Light Blue: Sea Routes
Terrains
Light Green: Grassy/Low Tree Growth
Green: Forest/High Tree Growth
Brown: Mountainous/Rocky
Tan: Dry/Sandy
Violet: Swampy/Marshy
Blue: Oceanic/Sea
Now, as for the names of places and stuff... I will write them down now. Also, by clicking the pictures that follow, you can also see an 16 bit interpretation of each area.
Tianto Town - North East Most
Route One - West (and through) of Tianto Town
Route Two - South of Route One
Gamosian Forest - South of Route Two
Route Three - South of Gamosian Forest
Chavian Town - South of Route Three
Route Four - West of Chavian Town
Chava Lake - South of Route Four
Algada Marsh - West of Route Four
Route Five - South of Algada Marsh
Oanpa City - South of Route Five
Route Six - West of Oanpa City
Oceiana Lake - West of Route Six
Route Seven - West of Oceiana Lake
Lira Port - South of Route Seven
Sea Route Eight - South of Lira Port
Fira Port - West of Sea Route Eight
Safari Zone - West of Fira Port
Miraran Forest - North of Route Seven
Route Nine - North of Miraran Forest
Gamos Mountain - North of Route Nine
*Note: Gamos Mountain is a part of Route Nine*
Calcury Town - North of Gamos Mountain/Route Nine
Route Ten - East of Calcury Town
Fangury Cave - East of Route Ten
*Note: Fangury Cave moves underneath the many mountains of the Gamos Mountain Range. The cave is also forked, which allows travel to both Route Eleven and Algada Marsh. The path to Algada Marsh is far more dangerous than the path to Route Eleven*
Route Eleven - North of Fangury Cave
Gamos City - North of Route Eleven
Route Twelve - East of Gamos City
*Note: There is an old mountain path which connected Route One and Twelve together; however, because the path has become even more unstable since it had been used in the path. As a result, the path had since been closed off, and only the bravest of travelers would dare cross it*
Route Thirteen - West of Gamos City
Yerita City - West of Route Thirteen
Sea Route Fourteen - West of Yerita City
Route Fifteen - South of Yerita City
*Note: There is a small lake attached to Route Fifteen*
Old Yertian Ruins - South of Route Fifteen
Route Sixteen - East of the Old Yertian Ruins and West of Calcury Town
Dragonbury Town - West of Sea Route Fourteen
Route Seventeen - West of Dragonbury Town
Sea Route Eighteen - South of Route Seventeen
*Note: Because the current in the channel south of Route Seventeen and Dragonbury Town is so rapid and harsh, the only safe way to reach the Pokémon League is to travel across Sea Route Eighteen or use a flying pokémon to cross the mountains. There has yet been any form of public transportation that would take people to the Pokémon League*
Victory Road - South of Sea Route Eighteen
Pokémon League - South of Victory Road
So, how does that look/seem to you? |

Looks pretty good, really. You actualy did a good job. I really don't think anyone was thinking of a map, but this really helps out a lot. Thanks!

Well, if it helps, then I could make it better, and not so rushed. |

If you can. Not saying that you have to, but it would help.

Well, a cleaner version is up. I haven't put up any labels for the cities, forests, routes, etc, but understanding what is what won't be too difficult, for now. |

Well, in the past, I have been doing things like this for a while... but because I haven't done such in a while, I am out of experience. I would normally use Photoshop and make very intricate details, but for something simple like this (and because using Photoshop takes a massive amount of memory and CPU to use, I decided to be lazy and use MSPaint. It took some time, but at least it's clean. |

Well, the topographic map is now up, and I must say... that took me a hell of a long time to finish. In any case, it is all green 'n lovely, and I like it.
Now, I am also making an aerial view map for the region, as well... but I won't be finished with that until a few weeks or so. It just requires so much diligence and drawing. I have a very rough drawing in pen made out, and it is semi colored, but I suck at drawing mountains and cliffs, so I will have to work on it, and then re-work on it, until I get it to how I like it.

Well, considering that my account hasn't been deleted yet, I might as well add an update to this thread. Okay, so I was constantly trying to create and recreate how this region should look, and then I got tired, so I decided to just do a 16 bit interpretation of each town, forest, and each location that can be seen at an aerial view. I also decided that each place should resemble the games, and as which, every town/city will have a significant lack of buildings, but that is all right, that is what "imagination" is for.
Oh, I shall be editing each place one by one, so it shall take some time to finish.
Also, I have done some hand drawn aerial views of the entire region; however, because my scanner doesn't seem to want to work with my printer, and because I am not good at drawing on my computer, they cannot be viewed yet; I apologize.

That's fine. And PM me if you want your stuff back where it was.
