Youngstown, Ohio, USA
Youngstown, Ohio. The Little Steel City. It flourished as a small city as demand for steel grew throughout the Industrial Age. But after the decline of the steel industry, this bustling urban municipality became a rusting husk of what it once was. Crime once ran rampant with mob bosses giving each other the fabled “Youngstown Tune-Up”… will your city survive in the Mahoning Valley?
This realistic map borrows its features from modified, real-world heightmaps. The river does not accommodate large boat traffic, but plentiful rail and highway connections will service any industry need. All highways and rails have been carefully placed in their real-world locations (although some on- and off-ramps have been adjusted to make them valid in Cities: Skylines).
Ore is definitely plentiful, keeping this map true to its origins as a coal-and-steel stop along the Rust Belt. Farmland is also plentiful if you choose to expand south of the city, and a small amount of oil will help keep industry moving.
Hope you enjoy this map!
