SimCity Site & Map: Huckleberry Island

Huckleberry Island sits just off the mainland. Rich in resources and scenery, you have several options and a good amount of room to work with.

Elevation and Terrain

The southwest corner as well as small pieces of the north and east borders are lost to water. Aside from this, there is a three-steppe rock formation and a piece of a hill in the bottom right-hand corner that take a little bit more.

Water Table

The steppes naturally drain all their water down to the beach which is pure blue. I highly recommend industrial up top at the highway entrance and then residential/commercial mixed with tourism down the bottom of the hill.

Resources

The steppes conceal a large coal deposit and a smaller companion that can't be properly mined. Down the bottom, however, is a deep, contiguous metal ore vein that is just ripe for the pickings. This would not be a bad place to set up an alloy manufacturing operation.

Usable Land

Surprisingly, there is rail access to the island. Even though the island itself is quite small, the amount of land that you have to work with is greater than some of the other site maps you can find in this game. Both the rail and the road come in on the western border.
