Real-World Map: Noordoostpolder - Flevoland, Netherlands

UPDATE: Fixed highway overpass in starting tile

This map is based on the real municipality of the Noordoostpolder in the Netherlands. The area is famous for being below sealevel, its incredibly fertile soil, and for being one of the first modern Dutch polders. Currently it is part of the province of Flevoland, which is taken nearly entirely from the sea. The former islands Urk and Schokland are also in the Noordoostpolder. When the land was claimed in 1940 these islands ceased to be, however, they still provide character and history to the region as the contours are still clearly visible.

The map itself is very, very flat. I've used a heightmap, and only slightly raised the dikes to prevent flooding. From the east the river the IJssel provides a strong current. There are routes for ships along the entire coast. For gameplay purposes I've added oil and ore, but only in small amounts. There is also one incoming trainline on the border, though in reality the Noordoostpolder doesn't have a rail connection.

A note of warning: 90% of the land is below sealevel. Don't mess around with the dikes or your Cims will get wet!

I DO love your maps and I much prefer them to any others I've used(tried out loads), this one ,however, has distinct issues.The slope is always steep even when it's flat and those tiny bushes you use on this one are so annoying they get everywhere! I shall continue on with others in your series because they suit my style of gameplay.I hope you can take constructive critism.Anyway keep up the good work.

Great map, only one problem, it frequently says I can't build roads because they're on water, or it says I can't build piped because the slope is too steep, even though im building on dry, flat land.

Alle wegen leiden naar Emmeloord....
Deze ook. :B1:
(Van de afsluitdijk tot voorbij Zwolle zie je de bordjes....)

This is a really nice map! I'm having a good time with it.

Epic Map, I'll try it when I start a new city, thanks :) I live 'on' Urk myself ;)

@lennard95 Nope. Emmeloord doesn't have a trainstation. But you can build one. There is one end of a train path at Vollenhove, in the southeast in the direction of Zwolle. But you have to create the track yourself.

Nice map but it really needs a train track there goes one trough Emmeloord right ?
Zakerias  [author] 8 Apr, 2015 @ 10:56am 
@desbarts I'll consider it. The heightmaps for the Netherlands aren't that accurate unfortunately. So it'll require some work.

Nice! Can you make oostelijk flevoland as well (Lelystad and dronten). I tried but I'm not able to find a good heightmap.
