The map has enough raw materials across its areas, but maximizing them would encourage residential Cities: Skylines areas with American-style buildings closer to the cliffs since ore is located mainly in the plains. This would immediately give players visions of an industrial complex and a fishing focus near the shore, with a posh residential area to the cliffside. Featuring only a quarter of the map as a lake, Cliffside Bay lives up to its name as it features various hills and a high hill on the shore. Being a vanilla map in the original Cities: Skylines game, Cliffside Bay boasts one of the most straightforward layouts in the entire title.
