SimCity Site & Map: Monet Plateau

Named after the artist, Monet Plateau is a rocky little spot has great potential -- both because of what you can build and also because of what you can dig up.

Elevation and Terrain

There's an arrowhead-shaped plateau running cattycorner down the middle of the map. A small forest in the southeast corner and highway access in the northeast corner. This site lacks rail access, so this should concern you if you were planning to build a resort town here.

Water Table

This site is blessed with some serious water. In fact, only a small bald spot on top of the plateau is dry enough for your pollution-causing ploppables.

Resources

The resources individually are small -- meaning you're going to lose money in the demolition/reconstruction phase. But all together, the patchy blotches of oil, ore, and coal all collaborate to give you a great source of revenue, provided you can balance all three and maintain your sanity.

Usable Land

This plateau is more forgiving than some of the others when it comes to zoning options, but it's still taking up lots of valuable land space. Don't expect this site to become the next London. You have water access on both the western and southern borders -- one for the ferry and the other for the trade ports.
