Porcupine Mountains in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a start-from-scratch, survival-style map with difficult terrain, extreme weather and vast empty wilderness. You inherit a small property with a trailer house, shed, silo and heavily used equipment.
The property includes one small field of field grass, equipment to cut and bale it into hay, and a constructable log cabin. You can harvest trees for the cabin, buy a sawmill to produce materials, and purchase other materials at the warehouse. There is a small town area where you can buy and sell things, extensive forestry, and open space to plow fields and expand your farms. There is no traffic on the map, allowing you to make roads wherever you want.
