Beautiful to look at from both above and at street level, Magnolia Wetlands is my #1 choice for tourism. You can't ask for better here and given how little land you have to work with, expecting any other type of city to flourish would be fantastical.
Elevation and Terrain
Luckily, the majority of the map is open to you at the beginning of the game. There is only a small island that you'll have to build a bridge to someday if you care to zone it -- though I would leave it as a nature reserve. But that's just me. Without question, it's the most interesting city site, visually speaking.
The huge amount of coastline on this one is going to be a pain to zone and leaves you very little creative license and no chance for a grid layout.
Water Table
Tons of water. You'll find a nice break in the soggy in the southeast corner.
Resources
None.
Usable Land
Highway entrance comes in along the south border right where I would plop my industry to take advantage of the break in the water table. Believe it or not, they found a way to sneak a rail line out here, though it does intrude into the middle of the map. However, that's not so bad because it's very, very close to a fantastic ferry point.
