A branching stream has cut it's way through this lovely site. Short bridges will make quick work of these inconveniences and leave you with a challenging but scenic city.

This is a great spot for coal, though there are four deposits and they're spread out all over the board. So to capitalize on all of them, you'll have to relocate your mines occasionally.
Usable Land
All told, the many changes in elevation make for very little flexibility in city design.

More importantly, however, because of the location of the highway entrance, you're going to be stranded on the eastern side of the map until you make enough money to afford at least one bridge.
