SimCity Site & Map: Hickory Ridge

This is a frightening site with few redeeming values. If you're not here for the resources, then you're here for the masochism and surely you need to have yourself checked out by an actual mental-health professional.

Elevation and Terrain

Yes.

Water Table

Patchy. Given how sparse the zoneable land is, you're going to have your residential and commercial at the top of the mountain (what little you can build) and your industrial next to the highway entrance in the southeast corner.

Resources

Holy metal. I'm not 100% on this, but I'm pretty sure the ore deposits are the largest in the game -- covering almost the entire top of the mountain. In terms of money, that's your cashcow.

Usable Land

As unbelievable as it is, there is a rail line somewhere in the crater on the east side of the mountain. You'll have to decide how much money you want to spend on the tunnel to make use of it. What else can I say? This thing is a train wreck and if it wasn't for the massive amount of metal here, I'd say ignore it.
