Description
This is a joint project with Agusingnavy, Soruvisu and MrMaison, of a set of Bayou-themed maps. A million thanks to them for their beautiful contributions to this map! Thanks also goes out to the creators of the other awesome content that make this project possible, including Ston3D, BloodyPenguin, Boformer, TPB, and Ryanjamesoflondon.

- Realistically simulated New Orleans. As in real life, most of the city area of this map sits below the water level of the Mississippi, Lake Ponchartrain and outflow canal system, and are all held back with earthen levees (as well as pre-made quaysides for the canals and the old city (French Quarter's) waterfront, which is your start square

Will you leave the existing earthen levees? Will you upgrade them with the new "flood walls" that came out in the free update? Will you get tired of being a good leader and cause a break in the levees, watching your city flood before calling it a day?

OPTIONAL - FOR BUILT IN PARKS, SUBSCRIBE TO THE FULL TREES COLLECTION BEFORE STARTING: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=667043879

- Several pre-designed parks, including the large New Orleans City Park and famous Jackson Square, will appear automatically

- True to life decorated Jackson Square, New Orleans' famous landmark, appears automatically if you subscribe to the optional items on the right.

- Highways as close to real life as using Google Earth as my source allows

- Real life Louisiana Intersections as designed by Agusingnavy and Soruvisu

- Large city parks with close to real life ponds

- Native trees and planting styles of the northern Gulf of Mexico

- Simulated New Orleans Industrial Canal, and outflow canals with correct water flow direction from real life pumping stations. There are water spawns inside the outflow canals so you can place pumping stations (or sewage stations) and have the water continue to flow. Break the levee and the water spawn will just keep producing water until the entire city area you've exposed to flood waters has filled up. If you fix the levee the water level will slowly reduce until you have dry land again.

The person saying that this map is mostly gretna and saying that the eatbank isnt new orleans clearly isnt from my home city. The east bank is new orleans the west bank isnt. gretna is so small on the WESTBANK how could they confuse the two? u can clearly see the lake in the north and the river in the south. Thanks for this map. also the population of orleans parish which is the city hasnt been as low as 100k since the city first reopened after katrina. this guy has no knowledge of the city. Its so draining how outsiders come and try to be more from my home than us creole natives actually ARE.

again thanks for this map

@MrMiyagi. I see what you are seeing. So, maybe i should say it this way, if the center of the mappable area was on the French Quarter of New Orleans, the bottom edge of the Map would be the Missippii river. I mean New Orleans proper is not that big and we have a population of around 107,000 people. so if the Mississippi is at the bottom edge, the top edge would have Lake Pontchartrain. The left border of the city would be River road which used to a Mississippi tributary that was filled in and the right most would be the MRGO which connects the Lake to The river. I mean hionestly, I have bigger cities on your other maps i use (Yes I am a fan) than New Orleans actually is

You can't fit all that into Cities Skylines, unless you increase the area covered, which means you would have to make a map at a scale that is MUCH smaller than real life. Picture number 5 above shows you the area this map covers in purple. Part of Lake Pontchartrain is in the map, but it's outside of the buildable area (unless you use 81 tiles mod). It's not ideal, but it's what we have to live with. Spread-out cities like Sydney, New York, LA, Seattle, Atlanta... none of them fit into a CS map. It's annoying, but it's what we're stuck with.

Okay, sorry but this map isn't accurate. Where's Lake Pontchartrain? Lake Bourne? MRGo? Basin and Canal? Your map is more Gretna, East Bank which isn't even Orleans Parish. Starting point should be the French Quarter which is in between the two curves of the S the Mississippi makes.
