West Wood Map

West Wood’s horror comes from place — a remote Canadian community in Alberta where darkness, weather, and isolation matter as much as the creature. Map knowledge separates teams that survive repeated nights from groups that respawn endlessly because they cannot find the general store under rain.

Map philosophy

Treat the town as numbered houses plus utility landmarks — store, power station, dealer-adjacent areas referenced in community guides. Roughly fifteen enterable locations appear in player discussions; exact numbering varies by build.

Deep dives

Landmarks and Safehouses — house numbers, store, power, dealer routing.

Weather and Outages — rain moods, blackout navigation, badge ties.

Map + contracts + coins

Contracts pull you across landmarks — Contracts. Soul coin routes should minimize backtracking — Soul Coins.

Day vs night routing

Daylight: wide loops, far contracts, store keys. Night: short hops between agreed safe numbers — Survive the Night.

Tools

Print mental checklist from Survival Checklist until map is memorized.

Mental map drawing

Sketch house numbers on paper during first co-op session — kinesthetic memory beats vague minimap memory for many players.

Map habit

Call house numbers aloud during daylight until the squad syncs.

Alberta setting and tone

West Wood’s Canadian rural framing drives slower, melancholic horror — not constant jumpscare arenas. Environmental storytelling through abandoned town layout rewards players who read atmosphere as a mechanic: isolation equals longer rescue odds.

Learning map without official chart

No official Trello map means squads learn socially. Run paired daylight loops calling house numbers aloud. Film nothing — focus memory. Cross-link Co-op Tips for navigator role definition.

Map resets on remake

Expect layout changes when remake launches. Veterans should relearn rather than argue “old house nine” callouts — update squad vocabulary after Remake News.

Elevation and sightlines

Some house clusters offer better rear sightlines — note which numbers let listener role watch street while others loot.

Quick reference

See related pages linked above for deeper walkthroughs across westwood.wiki — all routes use trailing slashes for consistent navigation.

Spawn variance

If spawn points shift between sessions, re-establish house cluster agreement within first sixty seconds — silent walking toward different compass points splits squads before contracts open.
