SimCity Site & Map: Lancaster Pointe

Beautiful to look at, this arrowhead-shaped peninsula is a beast to develop. The terrain of Lancaster Pointe dictates a very specific way of zoning.

Elevation and Terrain

The prominent plateau in the middle of the map grabs your attention. Zoning around this thing is crazy. You have some very specific places to drop your zones unless you plan on spending some serious cash on ramps.

Water Table

The good news about this level is that there is water almost everywhere. On top of the plateau is a dead spot perfect for your pollution-causing buildings. I recommend setting up industry zones alongside your metal ore extraction equipment.

Resources

Collectively, the two oil deposits on this level place it near the top of the list in terms of quantity. There is also a smaller but still impressive metal ore vein running down the center of the peninsula.

Usable Land

Wow, are you ever restricted. In addition, there's a lot of water. I only recommend this one for advanced players looking for a serious challenge. I'd place my ferry against the south border to make the commute to the mining/drilling rigs as short as possible.
