Starting Island Layouts from Official AC Twitter Accounts

I saw a map layout that was an small island with water around it...looked a good size too. I hope to get that one for my map I had so many ideas when I saw it.

I'm probably going to go with an East outlet island. In New Leaf, my town had its beach on its right.
 
I love all of the maps! I can't wait to choose my island. :)

I've noticed that there is no map with east AND west mouth of the river. Do you think that at least one of the river's mouths has to be in the south?

Also, one of the maps has a very interesting pond:

I still haven't seen one I can work with.
I hope they aren't all split into three.

I want two large areas of land, with one river dividing them.

Sadly, I don't think you are going to be able to get that right away. :( All the rivers look to be three branches. But, some look more streamlined and easier to get rid of when you unlock terraforming. :)

Yeah, I can fill one branch in when terraforming is unlocked, it's just the closed in feeling from not having wide open spaces and getting frustrated at not being able to do anything.
 
Are the starting points of the the rivers waterfalls??

Think I am going to aim for an East Outlet, heart lake, triangle grass, and apples and have the workshop more inland than closer to the beach.
Is that too much to hope for? lol
I am willing to let the heart lake go.
 
|sf>Well, you never know what will appear in the beginning maps until you see them appear on your actual screen. One of my New Leaf maps forms a giant smilie face. The map has two large lakes in the northern part of the island with a river that curves horizontally. It started with one bridge on the left side, so I built a second bridge onto the right side to keep things balanced. All the shops are north of the river in a perfect line along the upper fence with the town tree in the upper right side. Even though I can't control villagers, most of them build their houses on the residential section south of the river.
 
That bottom left map.
Damn.. if RS was on the right, I could work with that.

Resident Services is likely going to be the bane of our existence for many of us, especially if we can't relocate it. Literally needs to be in the perfect spot for your plans in a few month's time.

So RS is basically the immovable rock.

Damnit! :D
 
Ummm do you guys know if we are able to move the villager service around? Or do you think it permanent?
Just asking since it affects what type of map I would like.

Thank you for putting all of these together! It's very helpful. I'd love my house on a little island in the rivers, but since we're restricted at first to the area around RS, I'm not sure that's possible yet. Do we know if we can move our houses around later?

Sadly nothing confirmed yet on this. It's Resident Services and the Airport people are thinking might not be fixed in place.

Moving your house is confirmed.

I would assume that you can't move Resident Services or the airport, just in case, because we haven't gotten confirmation for that.

I would also assume that you can't change the mouth of rivers, the island shape, or anything regarding the beach. Again, just in case.
 
Not sure if someone noted this yet or not but it looks like the rivers always end in the same spots. Only the top left/right and the two spots on the bottom. Left side is always paired with the bottom right and vise versa for the right river. I was actually hoping for a bottom left ending river.
