SimCity Site & Map: Pinewood Hills

If ever there was a mining town, Pinewood Hills is the place to dig for your money.

Elevation and Terrain

The site is consumed by a vast, cliffy hill extending into the map from the south. It's going to make any grid-based city unrealistic.

Water Table

This water table is a tough one. You're going to have to be careful how you use it. The good news is that there is plenty of space for industrial zoning.

Resources

There is a large, blotchy series of metal deposits that are going to be tough to cash in on. However, the huge cash-cow of this area is the absolutely mammoth oil field that sits right next to the lake consuming the northwest corner. Combined, they equate to a South African gold mine.

Usable Land

The hill will give you some pause when it comes time to zone this beast. The road comes in up north to give you a good start and the rail line is in the southeast corner. Neither should present any problems. The waterfront is great for a series of trade ports, making this an industrial powerhouse -- provided you get your water from someplace else.
