Neah Bay

Mapping attempt number 2!

Using a height map of the very Northwest tip of the Washington Olympic Peninsula, Neah Bay is a mountainous wilderness along the Pacific coast. The map isn't a majorly accurate recreation, but the general landmass shape is the same, mainly water features are different. I've spent the better part of a week working on this and I think I'm pretty happy with where it is.

This is a limited build space Map, ideal for a small town or a very cramped big city. There's a Highway and Rail connection, along with a Shipping lane winding along the coastline. No Air connection. I tried my best to make it as vanilla as possible, which means vanilla trees and bushes which people may hate, but then again most people Mod the game anyway and I'm sure many have a tree replacer, or you can just replace the forests by hand if you want to. The only things you will need to have is the Mass Transit DLC for the Highway, and 81 Tiles to make full use of the map's build area. Tree count came in around 130,000-ish, so no need for Unlimited Trees! The mod is still nice to have though.

Map Theme Used: Cedar Valley 4k

Map sports several water features, which includes three rivers, four lakes though only one is deep enough to be suitable for water pumps, and several creeks mainly for decor. I tried to give the ocean some flow to help people who use sewage drains, but my attempt barely had any result, so it'd be safer just to use sewage treatment assets.

Note: I used Quays as sort of retaining walls under the highway ramps in the starter tile, as well as the foundation for one side of the Highway bridges. In test I noticed they clipped into the roads while in the editor they didn't. I went and lowered them a bit more but if they still clip in your game you can just use the Move It mod to lower them more. Or get rid of them, they're just for decoration.
