So what do you guys do with narrow slivers of land?

[Yannick]

I just plant some flowers and a few trees

 

[Kestheba]

I have a small strip of land that looks exactly like the circled part in the picture. My house, my alt's house, and 2 villager houses are sitting on it all in a row.

 

[estypest]

I started off with a small forest which then turned into a mining area after Laedon struck oil, got a drilling rig and a caution/stop sign at the top there

 

[juicyness]

I have no idea what I would do with it, I've always avoided maps like that for that exact reason. Just seems like a waste of space ;_;

Well, wow. Some people have some pretty cool ideas now that I'm reading through the thread!

 

[Xanarcah]

My cedar forest winds into the skinny part of my map, so I have a forest path that leads to my lighthouse at the end of the trail.

 

[Puffy]

I usually put some bamboo there
And then do something like "_____'s Secret Garden"

 

[Punchyleaf]

I usually use those for forests of orchards and pine tree and flowers. But sometimes a villager will just friggin plot right then and there and then it's just like... Why? Why? Why? Why?

 

[Rachel Ray]

Fill with flowers mostly

 

[jax1234]

I do a strip of bamboo with flowers between them, with an animal foot print path around it. Then I do an orchard to the right of it. On the left I have the flower bed with gold flowers in it.

 

[lazuli]

i planted a bunch of fruit trees on one side and have an alt on the other. i'm going to reset anyways but hey.

 

[Manazran]

Since Phoebe put her house in that narrow sliver of land,(Grr...why didn't I plot reset >_<)I put some paths to connect Phoebe's house with the main pathing.

 

[Rendra]

In Jayhawk, I have put Stonehenge along that stretch and plan on putting the picnic blanket there also (when Tammy finally suggests it). I also have a narrow strip that goes along the tall cliff side behind the Mayor's house. I have planted one of each kind of fruit tree there, so if someone plops their house on top of any of my trees around town, I know I will always have a way of replanting them.

 

[P.K.]

Hmm... it really depends. I'd squeeze in some pwps or maybe an orchard or a nature area with a bench.
But for your map, I'd put in either a video screen, tower or windmill or wind turbine. Basically tall pwps and add some bushes, trees or flowers. It would make a nice view when viewing that strip of land from the other side of the river.

 

[olivetree123]

I usually put an orchard there, or an alternate character's house.

 

[skylarfrances]

my alt's (witch) house is there with a path of candy and lollipops leading into her sweet delicious looking house so she can eat little boys and girls

do you have a dream address? that sounds fantastic!! i'd love to see

 

[Kippy]

I put a house there and a ho tspring themed area. That strip that OP pointed out in that picture is almost exactly what mine is like, placing and and everything.

 

[nammie]

put the tower there so you could see if from across the river. Also built an alternate character's house that's themed like a movie studio beside the tower lol
so I guess it's the... entertainment district in my town?? anyway it looks like this:

 

[Eline]

I've got a villager's house on that part of my town

 

[zeldafromhyrule]

I usually do put public works projects in that spot. I have a spot similar to that and I have all the "green" projects there like wind turbines and solar panels

 

[Conquire]

I used to have one in my very first town, i placed all my perfect fruit trees down there, as kind of a storage system!
