Sons of the ForestThe Sons of the Forest Map shows you the island as an interactive map: search for the Shovel, Rebreather, Katana and Rope Gun, find caves, bunkers and villages, check coordinates and place markers. Free, with no account or installation required—right in your browser.
Built by Dimitri Heissler
Heading to the island with friends? Play on your own Sons of the Forest server.
The island’s caves, bunkers, villages, and locations of important items. Search for an item such as the Rebreather, Katana, or Rope Gun.
The map is drawn from the Sons of the Forest server’s terrain and position data, not from a game image. Coordinates are in meters, with x pointing east and z pointing north.
Example result
You search for an item, cave, or location and get its coordinates, where to find it, and the nearest entrance. Three examples with real values from the server data:
Example 1: Find a rebreather
Input: search for “Rebreather”
The Rebreather is at x -423 / z 1,477 in Cave A, about 11 m below the surface.
From the entrance “Cave A”, it’s about 38 m in the direction of S.
This exact spot is marked on the map. The diamond indicates that the item is underground.
Example 2: Multiple items
Input: click “Katana” and “Rope Gun”
Katana: x 1,161 / z -652, Residential bunker.
Rope Gun: x -1,205 / z -278, Cave B.
Both locations are shown by name on the map at the same time, and the list below gives each position.
Example 3: Export markers
Input: place 3 markers, export as CSV
A table of names and coordinates for your notes or your team:
name,x,z Rebreather,-423,1477 Katana,1161,-652 Rope gun,-1205,-278
With 193 locations and 2,642 items, the map is a reference guide for the entire island.
How it works
From search term to location with coordinates in four steps—no installation required.
Step 1
Enter an item like “Rebreather”, a place like “Cave A” or coordinates like “-423 1477” in the search box. Search recognizes the English names from the game data.
Step 2
Locations take you straight to the image. For items, you can see where to find them on the map and in a list. Click a location to see its coordinates, depth below the surface, and nearest entrance.
Step 3
Under “Layers,” show or hide caves, bunkers, basements, villages, golf carts, hang gliders, item groups or the coordinate grid.
Step 4
Tap the map and select “Place marker.” Export your markers as CSV or JSON, or copy the link to your view.
