Share Your Island Map

Here's mine so far!

Here's a snap of my WIP map.

Had to start doing checkerboard style paths in most areas because of my diagonal bridges/curved cliffs.

i love your terraforming! it looks so cool and like it has so many fun places to explore

Here's a map of my island Bella. I plan on moving the tailors over near the resident services and better organizing the villagers' houses.
I live by the beach and my friend lives on the cliff. He's gotten really into waterscaping lately. My favorite islander is Moe and least favorite is Huck. I'm hoping for an all cat island someday.

Wow, our map layouts are almost carbon copies. I may do an all cat island as well, but I've already done that in NL so I don't know if I really want to do that again.

Spent at least 3 hours doing this and it's not even ...even, but I'm happy with it! Will likely take over a month real-time to terraform existing rivers n cliffs/move buildings/demolish existing structures, but I'm really excited about this! It took a while to figure out how to lay out my island with Resident Services being .. the way that it is [not that I'm not happy with it].

Half of it is made of islands, the other half just sprawling orchards + my paradise.

Time to get saving ... this is going to take over 2 million bells. I'm glad my term is ending soon!

Thank you! It does sometimes make getting around a challenge though haha

 

[Spooky.]

As you can see, at the moment it's the bridges and ramps holding me back from finishing my terraforming. x-x

When I finish that, then I'm gonna start saving up bells to move buildings. I'm thinking of putting the museum int he waterfall cave at the top if it fits there, if not, I'm gonna put the campsite there. Then I'm gonna put the shops where my house was (my house is being moved up on the cliff)

Didn't go in with a plan at all so everything I've been doing is based on last minute inspirations. I didn't really change much about the existing structure of my island, so my terraforming and pathing has mostly been based around what I've already placed down. Kind of envious of other maps where everything is super spaced out but it'll be too expensive for me to move things around haha. My top area is still a super underdeveloped work in progress and I'm still not sure what to do with it!

Ellie's house has already given me the most trouble it's the only one I've had to move twice now, all because I placed it one square too low and eventually decided to just move it somewhere else — resulting in a complete redo of Merry's house placement too :x Pretty proud of the four houses on the right though, because I placed them before I unlocked the Island Designer and without any paths/indicators but think I did a pretty good job with the spacing LOL.

mostly done, but fixing a couple more areas

haha i know how that is. mine is the same, but its sooo satisfying to feel like you're creating little worlds unto themselves out of small spaces ! also there's a shocking amount of room on these maps ? always impressed

 

[LatenDale]

Here's mine, though I'm severely unsure of what to do with it. No idea where I'd like the residential area to be as the plaza's in a bit of an awkward area.

Spoiler: pre-terraforming

I'm about 50% percent done with my map, but here's a snapshot. Still working on the left side, and waiting until I have amiibo cards/my final villagers to move houses. (And I need to find a better place for my museum.)

 

[elfin]

I've been trying to keep a more natural theme to my island, so I haven't made too many changes to the layout. The island in the middle is a flower field, and the path area in the lower right is my orchard. I still need to move the museum, and do some work on the upper areas and I need to decorate everything.

 

[matchaman]

I'm in the midst of moving my museum, and my house area is a bit of a mess, but otherwise I'm really happy with my island so far!

 

[Zura]

Still working on the kinks here and there. Shops have been moved so I can upgrade the "lab"

I had to reset 5 times just to get a map without both river mouths being south, literally 3/4 of the maps were double south and the one that wasn't always had a really bad layout. Happy I got a blue airport (since the island is Blueberry) and peaches. Very happy that the first nice map didn't have pears lol!

I have this one and dont love it. So much is higher up and theres little uninterrupted flat area to work with

 

[Lotusblossom]

Big plans.. oops image was too large

 

[kirby]

Decided to delete my save and start a new island. Reset for pears and a blue airport and i'm loving this layout ☺

To everyone who's having a hard time developing their island: don't stress out.

It doesn't have to be perfect right away like those videos or images you see going around. Build what you like or find practical, and see where it takes you. If your island is perfect from the start then what are you going to do the rest of the year?

 

[s i r e n t i c]

I still have a lot to do decoration and path wise, but I’m happy to take things slow.
I’m planning on moving more villagers up near my house, moving the museum to the left side of the resident services, and spacing out the shops a bit.

Spoiler: original map

I was actually really happy with my original map, and I’m kind of sad I made the rivers so uniform, but oh well

 

[InkFox]

Here's mine. I have not finished terraforming,building bridges and slopes and have yet to find my 10th villager (as well as to move one of the houses), but we're getting there

Aaand here it is now :
