Map Of Mexican Town In "The Magnificent Seven" (1960)

[princeman]

Two years ago I used Cacique's map to make my own town from the movie.
Posted the project here somewhere but here is a teaser.

Thanks again Cacique for he map! Made all the difference in bringing my project together.

Are you kidding!  That was just a piece of paper.   YOU are the one who brought the map to life!

I remember that thread princeman.  I am the one guilty of encouraging you to build the hills.

[GamesPoet]

That looks great!

[princeman]

Thanks guys. Cacique - your 'piece of paper' saved me many hours (and my wife) of watching the movie over and over. So thanks again. FifteensAway - your suggestion was spot on and finished it off perfectly. So thanks again to all of you.

One thing that always got me, was how few houses their were for so many villagers,

[FifteensAway]

Most of those villagers lived on their outlying farms and walked into town, of course!  Back in the day, a five mile walk was nothing - each way.  Except for the shoe leather wearing out.

As one of the crazy people who has watched every scene of this film multiple times in order to recreate a map of the buildings around the plaza, I can tell you that the majority of the peasant dwellings seem to have been located to the south side of town.  There are lots of glimpses of those outlying huts throughout the film, along with their unique giant clay granaries.

You can see a tiny bit of the huts and thatched clay granaries on the background here:

And when Calvera is finally shot behind that building, around 1 minute into this next clip, you can see the peasant huts even better:

Well, I’ve actually saved your topic in my favorites and will keep going back to it when the moment comes for me to build my 15mm version of the town:

I am honored!

Remember if you play the final battle, there are 50 Mexican bandits.  So after the "Seven" kill 52 of them (Yeah count them), The most dangerous bandit comes into play.  The "off camera Mexican sniper".  The OCMS kills 3 of the seven.  We put that into our game as a hard to save not so random event, to give it the Hollywood" feel.

I’m glad you counted them!  That’s something I never did.  In fact, in an earlier assessment I thought 40 would be about right.

for a game you can always recycle them, we had them come out of houses randomly or ride in from off camera....board.
