Stardew Valley Farm Maps
Want to know about the Stardew Valley farm maps? The farm you start with in the farming game is just one of many that you’ll have the opportunity to visit, and each one offers its own unique features. Some maps are better suited to certain activities than others, while some may present unique challenges, so it pays to know what each map looks like and what it can do.
There are many Stardew Valley farm maps to choose from, including the Stardew Valley Enchantment Stones that change the layout of the farm completely. Each of these Stardew Valley farm layouts has its own unique features and limitations, so here’s everything you need to know about them, starting with the farm maps you can find in the farming game right now.
Hilltop Farm
The Hilltop Farm map is located to the south-east of Pelican Town. The raised plateaus make it perfect to grow pumpkins, while the river that runs through the middle of it makes it a great choice for anglers. However, you may find that the ore and rocks that spawn there aren’t quite as helpful as they first seem.
Wilderness
The Wilderness map is located to the north of the Pelican Town map, past the Witch’s Hut. The monsters that spawn at night can be quite annoying – they can interrupt your farming activities, for example – but the map itself is characterized by its rocky terrain and large areas of empty space, perfect for building your farm to your heart’s content.
Forest
The Forest map is found to the east of the Witch’s Hut, and is characterized by the numerous hardwood stumps that spawn on the map, as well as the seasonal foraging items you can find while exploring the map. The trees themselves mean that sprinklers don’t work very well on the map, but it’s a great place to grow fruit trees and gather the plentiful crops they produce.
Riverland
The Riverland map is to the south-east of the Pelican Town map, and although it has a lot of broken-up land, there’s still ample space for crops, animals, and equipment. The many rivers can be a bit of a pain to navigate, however, especially during rainy seasons.
Beach
The Beach map is located to the south of the Forest map and to the west of the Pelican Town map. The tropical vibe the map gives off is balanced out by the fact that most of the map is sandy, meaning sprinklers won’t work, and you’ll have to water the plants by hand instead. However, unique features like supply crates washing up on the beach make it a fun map to play on.
Standard
Finally, the Standard map is the map you start with, with no special features. It’s quite large, so you can customize it to your heart’s content, placing buildings and crafting the perfect Stardew Valley farm.
Four Corners
The Four Corners map, on the other hand, divides the farm into four quadrants, each with its own unique feature. It’s perfect for multiplayer, as you’ll each have your own section to organize as you wish, or if you want to separate different types of activities (livestock, crops, equipment) on your farm.
That’s everything we know about the Stardew Valley farm maps. Ultimately, your choice of map will come down to personal preferences and your playstyle, but at least now you know exactly what you’re getting into.
