Map recommendations

I'm looking for a good 16x American map, right now my main game is on lazy acres, and I just downloaded millennial farms but I don't know how I feel about that one

I'd like to have a decent farmyard to park vehicles and animal pens so if I decide to do animals on that map too, and medium to big fields (I like running bigger equipment until I find all the mods needed to do a retro which is next on my list)

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Was gonna say Griffin, Indiana or something but you said 16x map. Anyways the map I found is Nowhere Kansas which is 16x. *thumbsup*

I have Griffin downloaded I just have never loaded into it. I just looked at nowhere and the only problem I have is it doesn't look like it has a lived in feeling, I know a lot of people like Griffin and American life and I just ran across Dahl ranch so debating on that one. Any more recommendations would be appreciated

If you think your PC can handle it, camil mapping fs19 made a 24x map called Peace River, BC. It unfortunately doesn't support animals due to its size, but it's a great map to use if you like big farming.

If you like the looks of Dahl and Griffin Indiana, I think you'd enjoy Flint Hills. It's a 4x, not a 16, but it's pretty wide open with a few nice custom farm yard options. Great attention to detail on this map too as well as excellent custom crop and soil textures.

I downloaded american life just from videos I've seen, what is all of your opinions on it. I like that it has animals, a lot or storage, and some of the fields look pretty big but it's hard to tell just from the picture of the map, it just seemed big when a youtuber did a tour and drove around the map.

I'm kind of thinking starting on there or Griffin. The x16s that I have found just don't seem as interesting. So I'm hoping for a big feel.

Dairydeere I thought about peace river but my computer is quite a few years old and was just a basic model so I don't think that is going to run good just from some of the info I read about it

Yukon River valley is entertaining it’s 16x and utilizes barges to navigate the river

That does look interesting I might use that as my logging and other map instead of willamina since I've almost processed all the trees on that map

It definitely has some areas that could be opened up for some massive farming as well

Has anybody had experience with bantikow I just saw a mod video by djgoham and he talked about it, the map pda looks interesting, in some ways I'm still pulling towards american life mainly because so much multi fruit I just got to figure out the anhydrous thing, but if you all think bantikow might be better I might go with that, so many choices and so little time to play haha

Well I got flint hills downloaded I'm hoping tomorrow to load in to the game and maybe start setting up my equipment hopefully it will be the one for me and if not I think I will go with Griffin.

Next step is finding what all mods I need to do a full vintage game.

I just discovered a little-discussed map: Fox Farms. I’m not sure why I overlooked it, but it totally fits my style of play.

It’s an American-style map with medium to large fields, a feedlot (I don’t usually do animals), a couple of sell points, and a decent sized yard. It’s kind of in the style of Welker Farms map.

I’m a console guy so I can’t give any 16x map recommendations, but Fox Farms is my new favorite.

Griffin might be a good map for you. The southern end of the map will accommodate big machines and you can use smaller older equipment on the north end of the map, you can run two farms per say. Just a thought.

I keep looking at fox farms for an alternate console map being that it’s under 100 mb. I just wish I could sell the dairy cow areas, or make them just beef.
