True to it's name, Petrol Bay can be a fantastic place to start your life as an oil baron. But it has potential to be so much more. That makes it perfect as a site for people who are new to the game.
Elevation and Terrain
Flat. This city site is intruded upon by a lake to the north. Other than that and a few trees, you'll find nothing to stop you from building the city of your dreams.
Water Table
Tons and tons of water. In fact, you could supply the entire region with water from here if you chose to. Realistically, any industry at all is going to pollute the table.
Resources
The biggest oil deposit in the game -- this thing is monstrous. If you can't make money with this, you might as well pack it up and open a graveyard.
Usable Land
Rail access is inconvenient when compared to the lake front, so if you plan to try for tourism, there are easier sites. Especially given all the oil that is here, the north of the map is going to be your primary drilling center with water and residential probably to the south.
