@ Nathanthemayor: nice map, is it based on a real transit map from SC4,

anyways here's a city I've been working on

and uh, I also have a question, is there a mod that makes the cars appear from this zoom?

This is my London Underground style tube map for my city, Scottsdale. I'm really proud of it as it took hours to make, thanks Duke for your amazing Tube Map Kit!

Fantastic job, Mastof! I love it!

Another update to my own subway map! I redid everything concerning signage (line numbers etc), plus the latest expansions since my highway system is crap and full of bridges. >.>

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Nice Balth! Are you able to post an older map for side-by-side comparison?

[timmie 988]

The older map is on page 13.

[Linoa06 1,374]

And the old old version is on page 7.

This is my map of Metro of Thullia.

Well..I thought I was done but not totally. One thing was missing : water.

So here comes the very same map, but with the water details all over. Nothing geographically truly accurate, but it helps a lot. I've also added city or district names, too.

I've also made line U5 closer to its actual counterpart. It does a loop that heads back up and the maintenance tracks lead westbound almost to Golden Way. On the other side it might take Westend (which is actually in the EAST END district, but it's a confusing history for that name) and then make a line following the northeastern shore, but it's costly and perhaps not so useful.

I'm sorry but I had to cramp it up for those of us who don't have the time to load this file (56K friends). I hope the station names etc. are still readable.

Many people have made some great maps for their cities - either road maps, subway maps, Mapquest-style maps, or something else. I thought it would be cool to have them featured in one place and couldn't find a thread like this already in existence (my apologies if one exists somewhere.)

So if you've made an interesting map of your city or region, show us! To be clear, I don't mean "map" as in a terrain you've made or imported or whatever, but a how-do-I-get-around, top-down type view of your city or transit system.

I thought we should start a new version of this thread because the origional one has gotten too long. This thread was origionally made by JaneJacobs. All credit for the start of this thread is JaneJacobs'.

Great Idea! Although I cant do this my self (I'm not to bothered with my transportation in SC4) I love how proffesinol (sp) they all look.

Well..I must say I only used Paint.

Cool maps! I also admire how the streets are named! This is something that I have always thought of doing, but I have always been more enthralled with the rush to build the region which, at the current time, I have been working on a region that is roughly 40 miles by 40 miles. Additionally, I have noticed how, once the region surpasses 15 million, there is always traffic on the freeways (both directions) at all hours...More and more traffic as the region continues to grow. I will have to take some photos to show it all off. Yet, I play the game on a computer that is not hooked into the internet--I find the computer, the game, and the computer that is for online only all work a lot better as long as each and every memory slot is filled, for the Sim City 4 computer has well over 900 ram which I strongly suggest to all playing this game. Thank you for showing off your work!

Hey ManofManyCats!

First of all, welcome to Simtropolis! It's nice to see new members jump on board the community!

This thread has not been posted in since the 5th of March, which means it is well and truly dead, so it's not good to 'bump' such threads. The continuation is here, so you might want to check that out for current examples and input.

We'd love to see your city! 40x40 miles sounds impressive, and that would make for some great shots.

If you have any more questions about this, don't be afraid to PM me or another site member.

We hope you enjoy the site,

-ROFLyoshi and Simtropolis

I don't post as often as I should....

Hi, I'm a lurker!

Anyway, I wanted to learn Inkscape and make a map, and this is what happened:

It's for my fictional city Gentium. It's the streetcar system.

(Despite the disclaimer the actual system actually looks a lot like

this, it's just that the distances have been shortened.)

[Linoa06 1,374]

Pwetty good.

Nice, I've worked how to do Images so I might send in a map of my Region, Not sure

[nycsc4 5,250]

Anyone interested in creating one of these for one of my cities? I would love the help, I'm not very good at photoshop or other programs to create intricate maps like these. PM me if your interested, its not a very large system, lots of detail though. I have a lot of documents and information that would make it pretty easy if your good at these things.

Thanks!!

Jason

Hey Jason (Nycsc4)

I would love to have a crack at it! But first, I'm going to ask for some info:

*Just a very crudely drawn map so I can get an idea of how it looks.

*Info about each of the stations. Does it have connections to other forms of transport? (Tram, other trains, bus, ferry etc.)

Just give me what you got and I'll try my best. Should be fun, glad to work with you.

Heres Mine, The Regions Not Complete and it follows a very simple Map style:

Little update on my subway map. This time it's just to add lines 8 (Wartenberg <-> South Station, basically the eastern city link), 9 (Longerich <-> Lauberg Cosseystraße, that's to relieve line 7 on its central part as well as provide a better link in Lauberg and Mülheim), 4 (from Alte Heide to Wutai East, to re-establish a link between the CBD and Wutai while relieving line 1), as well as a few changes to the overall look of the network, around Summerset mainly. S1 has been modified a bit, too.

I have put more district names as well Overally the style remains the same however. My city is constantly evolving!!! D:

Also, here is a random poster about some maintenance works The Sedoner subway company is usually efficient in engineering and trying its best to provide decent service to their users.

Great maps, everyone.

@ Balth - amazing work, looks really good with the water added, now a lot of the lines make more sense. I'd love to see a larger resolution version...

@ nathanthemayor - this might work as an idea to avoid the odd-looking Chafkon City terminus:

I worked on something a while ago (in photoshop, took me around 8 hours total, I think) for an upcoming city in my CJ, The Mayors of Ellis Valley. Of course, my storyline took me all over the place, so won't get to this city until later this year.

In the meantime, here's my 'sims-eye map' (i.e. made at the in-game angle) showing all the major points, as well as the postal codes and names of the seven neighborhoods that make up Kirkbridge.

My Region has Expanded and one of My new Cities as an Extreme Transportation Route which i will be sending in later.

Strip map I made. Unlike others I've seen, mine features complete interchange layout.

This was one of my attempts at learning Illustrator, actually. This is the City of Pinaglabanan, in the Province of San Francisco. It is the largest city of the province, and also the most highly urbanized one. This is just the subway map, actually, because the city also has a monorail system running between San Dionisio and Parian. There are also trains serving the periphery of the city and its suburbs. I might try making another map with those systems in the future.
