Wildwood Island is located in the western half of Fairview. The city of Wildwood Island encompasses several islands in the Fairview Bays area. The namesake island is the most developed island, which is where the city also started. Development has started on Bluewater Island but much of the rest of the land remains undeveloped, giving Wildwood Island an opportunity for continued growth for years to come.

Wildwood Island borders more cities than any other one in Fairview. Wildwood Island has land links to all but Mountainview Lakes, where ferries connect both cities. Wildwood Island's location positions it to become the urban center of Fairview.

The mayor of Wildwood Island is Brandy Fulkerson, a friend of Claiborne's Angela Pleasant.

Above, a view of the east end of Wildwood Island's namesake island, the most developed part of the city. Development has climbed up East Pleasantview Mountain as well as spreading to the south of it.

Above, the neighborhoods to the south of Pleasantview Mountain. Because of the links to Claiborne and Stratford to the south, Wildwood Island's growth, which began on the east end, first spread this way.

Autumn in Pleasantview Heights. Pleasantview Heights is built on East Pleasantview Mountain, providing residents scenic views.

The overlook on Pleasantview Heights. The overlook is below the top of East Pleasantview Mountain and predates the neighborhood, accounting for houses above it. A statue of the mayor is at the overlook.

The new business district on Bluewater Island. Wildwood Island had no central business district in its early years; instead, commercial development was located mostly on avenue corridors. A new centralized business district was built to fill the void in the city's development.

City Hall in the business district. When it was time to build Wildwood Island's city hall, development of the business district had begun, so City Hall was located there. The City Hall is situated on the southeast corner of Bluewater Island.

Light Rail in the business district. With only one rail line in Wildwood Island at the time, a railroad that runs along the north side of Wildwood Island itself, it wasdecided that mass transit needs in the business district and the surrounding neighborhoods would be met by GLR. The light rial line makes a loop through the business district.

Jacquet Hill and Beaker Mountain. Jacquet Hill and Beaker Mountain, on the northeast side of Bluewater Island, are a couple of old, inactive volcanoes, the only evidence of recent (in the geologic sense) volcanic activity in Fairview. The volcanoes have not been active for thousands of years, and scientists say there is very little chance of renewed vocanic activity in the area.

Harbor pier in the northeast industrial district. Across a narrow strait from Beaker Mountain, on the edge of a peninsula that links the city to Mountainview Lakes and Berlin Harbor, is a new industrial district and the location of Wildwood Island's only seaport.

The undeveloped frontier of Wildwood Island. This view is looking west from over Bluewater Island, showing the expanse of undeveloped land in the city. Mount Swathmore, the highest point in the city, is near the bottom center.
