The question I've always had here is how to scale the image?  The region
is 256x256 pixels, but does a real world landscape need to be scaled to
1 inch per pixel, 1 foot per pixel, 1 meter per pixel, one mile per
pixel, one kilometer per pixel, ....?

I would like to create a virtual representation of a real property about
2 miles square.  What would be a reasonable scaling for this?  How many
regions would I need to make this work?
