Big Walk map guide: zones & landmarks

How the zone labels work

The release build organizes the island into numbered zone labels, from 01 Intro Valley in the west to a far-north ending area, with the Peak at the centre and rivers crossing the south. The labels reach 99 (Secret Zone). Numbered gaps exist and do not by themselves mean anything.

Navigation landmarks

• Coloured tower ridges — green, blue, black, and yellow tower labels point to landmark towers spread across the island.
• The Peak — centre, north, south, east, and west labels surround the highest-point landmark.
• Vereker — appears repeatedly in the north (North of Vereker, Vereker Coast Point, Vereker Backpack Pavilion).
• Goodbye Gate and Far North Ending Area — align with the reported ending achievements Big Goodbye and Big Game.
