This is what I have done so far. Descriptions are in the album, in case imgur screws with the order I put them in (and to write in-character).
As for what I plan to do... This is the immediate area I'm in:
Plenty of room for development, lots of trees, a nice river.
Sorted into areas.
Area 1: The main complex, which aside from some furnishings on the top of the building is done.
Area 1.5: This is the area I mentioned I wanted to make into a larger grazing area for the livestock. I'd build a natural bridge, clear and fence off a large section of the forest there, and let them graze.
Area 2: The wooded garden. The grey spot is an unfinished, unroofed netherbrick structure whose purpose I'm unsure of. I may turn it into a sort of city hall/governmental building.
Area 3: The garden/park. This will also remain unchanged.
Area 4: Will be the industrial disctict. The small building is an entrance to the cave spider experience farm, and I plan to build the district around it, with blacksmith shops, mines, brick-making and the like. Since I have the most concrete plan for this area, and the materials to build it, I will be making this next.
Area 5: This will be more wooded land, maybe with a larger pond. As the land develops this could turn into a sort of central park-type area.
Area 6: I may need help, but this will be the Residential complex, with housing (which is where I'll need help. I cannot make good-looking houses.)
Area 7 will be the marketplace, with shops selling goods, services, as well as restaurants, bars, etc.
If necessary, I will expand 6 to the left, bordering the fields for the animals to graze, and 7 right bordering the industrial area, and both down if need be.
