Forlorn Muskeg Rough Map
By Jaspo
A rough and highly inaccurate rendition of the Forlorn Muskeg region, to serve as a placeholder in anticipation of Whiteberry's "official" version.

INCLUDES SOME SPOILERS

Drawn from memory, so surely very inaccurate with a bunch of things named wrong, and missing all sorts of details. For the sake of familiarity/continuity I copy/pasted elements from Whiteberry's maps to create this one, if you want an accurate map you'll have to wait for Whiteberry's "official" one.

Things not on this map: there's about 5-6 deer carcasses total, but I only remembered the general location of two of them.
There's wolves in other places as well. There's cattails, mushrooms, rose hips, and lichen all over the place, though beyond that, "human" supplies are very sparse.


Most of the area marked simply as frozen water on this map is actually covered with small patches of land...in exploring the area, I got the impression that the weak ice areas are determined by nothing more than being a certain distance from the nearest bit of land, which is the same all throughout the region. So, anywhere the land patches are close together (15 yards or so or less), it's safe to cross. Because of this, its generally possible to get from point A to point B without going too far out of the way, even when crossing straight through the middle of the marsh. There is a bit of a blockage on the right side of the map, to make it more challenging to reach the homestead, but there is a direct route from the high blind to the homestead. Also, in v.388 its possible to scramble up a rock on the left side of the river, opposite the cave entrance, to bypass the cave system in order to get to the marsh ridge. This will likely be fixed in a later update. Note that there are supplies, including a climbing rope, as well as coal, in the cave, so its worth going through it at least once anyway.

I found a rifle by a corpse at the end of the frozen river next to the radio tower

There's a deer carcass by the ruined shack. So far I've always been getting a pack of two or three wolves right in the middle of the tracks, as well.

Cat tails literally everwhere along the water.

There should be some maple between the two caves in the north, if I remember right. There's a lot of both types of sapling throughout the map; lots of everything to be found on the various small patches of land in the middle of the swamp...daring you to risk falling through the ice to get it.

Scratch that, they were birch plants not maple.

Thanks for the map! Ive explored the entire left side myself but had too many wolfs and bears + bad weather to explore the right part of it. I also found plenty (atleast 3) deer corpses between low-blind and poachers hideout, one deer corpse is just above bear cave (when you enter the place from the tunnel directly to the right, can also find mushrooms nearby) , and a corpse+backpack inside the waterfall mines. There was also a massive supply of plants (I belive it was about 5 maple and a huge amount of moss) around the radio tower towards the cliff side.
