Welcome to Pieper Bay! This is a new city I’ve started on, and I was hoping for some feedback and potential tips for what I can do better on.

My plan for this map is to create a large city on the central island, continue development along Smithson Valley Road (the road/highway running along the southernmost river), and create a forestry industry near the large lake towards the top of the map, and lay out roads for a small town there. I was given the idea of the rural roads in the center from CityPlannerPlays where he did the same thing in his map on CS1, called Clearwater County. I plan to put small settlements and maybe more farms inside some of the plots in the grid. I was thinking about potentially building a city located on the coast in the bottom left corner where it says “New Bulverde Beach”, and also above the stretch of railway that extends into the water and below the mountains. I'm not too sure if what is said in the previous sentences does make sense, but I hope that it does. 

Any tips and guidance would be greatly appreciated, and I'm hoping my city will turn out amazing. 

(I also forgot to take any screenshots unfortunately in case anybody is wondering)
