That map really drives home how defensible/isolated a lot of those mountain towns are. On one hand, a small group of trained, well armed and/or resourceful fighters could hold off a much larger force in one of those mountain passes. On other, isolated valley settlements would have to keep transportation lines open and maintain good relationships with neighboring settlements so as not to starve to death.
