Okay, had a surge of inspiration and my brain went straight to work, and here's the result:

I'm going to map out the lakes later tonight.

Looks cool dude

But are those orange strips bridges?
They won't work in game because the river needs to be straight on either side, just to let you know

aye cute!! also, i think you have the exact same og island map layout as me :O the river outlets are in the same place and so is the RS and airport. Neat how you've manipulated a map that I've been struggling with since i unlocked terraforming lol. I just dislike the limitations of where the RS is and the outlets ; v ;

btw what app/website is that? I'd love to try it

The beaches and edges of the grass aren't EXACT, I had to draw it to look similar. The basalt rocks aren't even the same, I'm just using this as a base guideline.

I believe the site is called "Happy Island Designer", its basically an online paint tool that lets you draw the island out, you can even take a screenshot of your island map and upload it to the site as an overlay to draw over it. You can save your progress as a .png file and re-upload that to continue your work should you clear your cache and lose the progress. Very simple to use once you get the hang of it.

Yeah, those are bridges. Didn't like the graphic they used for the bridges so I just drew them out. I'm well aware, this is just a guideline I can follow. Things on here won't be exact, I'll make small adjustments where needed.

I use this designer sometimes too, but I can never get my lines and areas that pretty and neat looking. How you do it?

I think it's a very cool looking map. I love the multiple levels (though I've always liked that about the Animal Crossing games, but I do like seeing other players making use of them and creating their own in New Horizons).

Honestly, just a lot of trial and error. Don't be afraid to have jagged edges, either. Stick a few corner parts in the mix and don't be entirely reliant on curved cliff edges and don't be afraid to go straight across or down a few tiles now and then as well.

A lot of the nicer islands you see in dreams or floating around on sites like Tumblr, Twitter and even on here do a similar thing as I've mentioned above. Every island needs a bit of jaggedness in them to look more natural and not entirely man-made.

Pascal hit home with this one.

Nothing to see here, just the airport entrance I've been working on for the last few hours.

Well, I got around to putting down all the little lakes in various areas. Here's what it ended up looking like:

The shapes aren't set in stone, and I imagine only a few of them will be exact copies. Most will likely vary slightly, or shift in position a little.

So adorable. Hope you'll upload the dream once it's done for real, looks like it'll be really cool to explore!

I love how your island's map looks! It's fairly natural and looks so unique.

Please update your dream sometime, I'd love to take a look!

Really cool idea with the valley!

Would you be going with standard nature decorations? Kinda reminds me of the mountainous deserts from Breath of the Wild, it’d be cool to see an island with an environment like that!

I'm unsure right now. Perhaps? It is an easy theme, and it is probably the theme that best fits this style of landscaping.

I spent 10 minutes waiting for a star to fall. Worth waiting for it, don’t ya think?

I committed a crime today by breaking and entering Norma's home, lol.

Step one: enter when curtains are closed

Step two: look for the goods

Step three: leave like nothing happened
