Ahwahnee Valley

Description
A deep valley cuts through the mountains, revealing a boreal forest flanked by towering cliffs. This map is based on the terrain of Yosemite Valley in California, which was central to the development of the national park idea in the United States.

Now with more water!

As with many maps based on real mountainous terrain, you will be challenged more than usual to develop a thriving city here, but that can be part of the fun. There are spaces of relatively flat ground on the valley floor, however, so your Cims aren't forced to live like mountain goats. The small river that runs through the valley is fed by several streams, but generally does not have sufficient volume to support a water pump. The valley itself is heavily wooded, making it ideal for use by the forestry industry. Expanding into the highland terrain around the valley will help resolve your water supply woes as well as give you access to a large ore field for more diverse industrial zoning.

I loved the scenery of the map and how well sculpted it is, but the river and roads felt hastily done

I had trouble with a well used single water pump pulling in enough water to reverse the direction of the flow and would have had my sewage in the water pump if I didn't catch it early enough. I switched to water towers but as my city grew the discharge from my sewage system overtopped the banks of the rivers and flooded the surrounding area. (On a side note it's neat that the game can do this, but not something I wanted to happen.) I had to use a terraforming mod to deepen the river and fix the problem.

Don't know if this happened to anyone else, but after letting the time run awhile the river began to overflow it's banks near the fork. I had to terraform levies in order to stop the flooding.

@gatchafox: You won't be able to use pumps on the river and will have to rely on water towers in the beginning. There is a lake in the highland portion of the map, however, that will be able to support pumps.

Just began a game on this map and had trouble with the rivers. The river bed is too flat and with just two water pumps going, the river reverse direction. Every time a new river feeds into the larger river, it should lower the river bed to help prevent the river from flowing upstream.

Wonderful map. The highway is built so neatly and tight, impressive. Congrats!
