Exploring Vitarvis #5: Gahan

By spa,

Bit of a summer hiatus, but even though I haven't been posting, I have still be working on Vitarvis. On today's tour, we're going to the Gahan neighbourhood on Vitarvis's far eastern edge, a place that is almost completely surrounded by water. The updated satellite map below identifies the location in relation to our previous stops.Unlike Point Inglis, Augustein and Piedro, Gahan was never much of an independent entity. Its growth has been entirely the result of the success of Vitarvis. Gahan's seaside...

On today's visit to Vitarvis, we're heading up the harbour to Piedro at the mouth of the Colteck River.Piedro is another one of the Vitarvis area's older settlements, but its origins are quite different. While Point Inglis and Augstein were primarily settled because of their access to the harbour, Piedro began as a Christian monastery. Set in a deep valley, its limited entry and exit points provided the monastery with solitude while the fertile land and river allowed its monks to be relatively...

Next on our tour of Vitarvis, a quick trip across the harbour from Point Inglis to nearby Augustein.

The arrival of the Atlantica North Railway cemented its role as a manufacturing powerhouse and, for a time, it threatened...

Tonight, we're off to Vitarvis's Point Inglis neighbourhood. Let's check it out on our spy satellite.Point Inglis juts out into Vitarvis Harbour and it's where the city began. Often simply referred to as "the Point" by locals, the area's great exposure to the harbour and the abundance of freshwater in Lake Adello on the ridge above made it a natural place to settle. The first settlers were fishermen who made a living off the sea's bounty. Often, they wouldn't have to go far to land a day's catch as fish...

Welcome to my first ever City Journal. Some of you may know me from the custom content I created for SC4. I have been enjoying Cities Skylines so much that I have been inspired to share. In this journal, we'll explore my first Cities Skylines city, the burgeoning metropolis of Vitarvis. I started this in the forums rather than the CJ section and I'm just moving it over so apologies if you've already caught the first three entries. First, let's situate ourselves. When I started playing Sim City 2000 back...
