Do all maps have a riverbend?

[Sdj4148]

Most maps, I've noticed, have river bends making your town uneven on both sides. Do all maps have rivers like that, or is it possible to have a relatively straight river?

I believe every town must have at least one bend in order to form the town's river pool (which is the widest section of the river, on a bend) and a few fish only spawn there.

I have seen a few layouts where the river is pretty much almost horizontal across the map with a small round pond within it as is always the case and one bridge

It looks like there are some that are less curvy than others, here, but none without one bend.

I'm pretty sure all towns always have a river, at least in the original and New Leaf since those are the ones I have played.

They aren't asking if they have rivers, they're asking if they have river bends.



That aside, I have seen some maps with a pretty straight-across river, but not often. It's possible though. You will still get some wider areas of river and maybe a small bend but you can find one that's fairly even.

My river is pretty much horizontal (with a small bend on one end), so not all maps do.

I have a fairly straight river in my second town, it's not in the middle though but here's a pic

From every single map I've seen, they all seem to have a riverbend.

Although I swore I once saw a map with an almost completely horizontal river, I now think I may have imagined that.

I've definitely seen ones where the river has gone almost entirely horizontal and then bent just a bit at the last moment. I agree with whoever posted that I think that's to do with getting a larger "pond" area of the river for the bigger fish to spawn in. It's rare but it is possible....
