Short answer: The Schedule 1 map has 5 main zones: Downtown, Motel Area, Industrial Zone, Docks, and Highway (Casino). Each zone has different suppliers, police density, and available properties. Downtown and Motel are safe for early game. Industrial and Docks are mid-to-late game zones. The Highway zone has the casino and is most active at night.

Zone-by-Zone Breakdown

Zone Police Density Properties Suppliers Best Time Risk Level
Downtown High (2 patrols + 1 station) Apartment (free) Dan Samwell (shop) Day Medium
Motel/Westville Low (1 patrol) Bungalow ($6K) Albert Hoover Any Low
Industrial Medium (1 patrol) Barn ($25K) Shirley Watts, Fungal Phil Day Medium
Docks Medium (1 night patrol) Docks Warehouse ($50K) Salvador Moreno Night (6PM-6AM) Medium
Highway/North Low (1 patrol) None Casino, vending machines Night Low

Downtown Zone

The starting area. Contains:

  • Ray's Realty (northeast, near Garage and Bleuball's Boutique). Buy all properties here.
  • Police Station (south end). Avoid selling within 3 blocks.
  • Dan's Hardware (central). Equipment and mixing stations.
  • Convenience Store (central). Donuts and basic items.
  • Gas Station (north edge). Fuel, Energy Drinks, basic ingredients.

Selling strategy: High police density makes downtown risky for street dealing. Check the Heat System guide for zone-specific heat limits. Use this zone for shopping and property purchases only. Do your street sales in the Motel area.

Motel Area (East)

The best early-game zone. Contains:

  • Albert Hoover: primary mid-tier supplier, Motel room
  • Random NPC rooms: Horse Semen vendor (check every room)
  • Trash spawns: 3-4 bags behind motel, restock daily
  • Parking garage: rooftop hiding spot (police escape)

Selling strategy: Lowest police density in the game. Perfect for street dealing and dealer assignments. Buy the Bungalow here first.

Industrial Zone (North)

Mid-game zone, unlocked at Dealer rank. Contains:

  • The Barn (east side): $25K, best value property
  • Shirley Watts' stash: West face of Warehouse
  • Fungal Phil's stash: Behind Gas-Mart

Selling strategy: Medium police density. Use dealers here instead of street selling. The Barn's 2-floor layout takes time to optimize.

Docks (Far East)

Late-game zone, accessible 6PM-6AM. Contains:

  • Docks Warehouse ($50K): largest pre-Manor property
  • Salvador Moreno's stash: Behind Church (east side)

Selling strategy: Night-only access means you need to plan your production schedule around the time gate. Stockpile ingredients during the day and produce at night.

Highway/Casino Zone (North)

The northern highway has the casino and several vending machines. No properties available here. Best for gambling runs and quick cash via vending machines.
