How it works

How to find caves, villages, and items on the The Forest Map

Four steps from search to coordinates—no download or sign-up required.

Step 1

Search for a location or filter by type

Enter a term like “cave,” “village” or “flintlock,” or choose a category: cave entrances, cannibals, landmarks, items or lakes. The map will show only matches.

Step 2

Enter your location (optional)

Enter your X and Z coordinates, or tap “Set on map” and click your location. The list is sorted by distance.

Step 3

Select location

Click a marker or list entry. You'll see its position, terrain elevation, depth below ground for underground locations, nearest cave entrance, and distance from you.

Step 4

Walk there or share it

Copy the coordinates or the link to the location and send it to your fellow players, or head there yourself.

Caves

The Forest cave map: all cave entrances with coordinates

All 22 entrances to the cave system on the surface of the game world: on foot, by diving, by rope descent, and through the large sinkhole. Several caves have a second entrance, so there are more entrances than caves.

Cannibals

Cannibal villages, camps, and beach houses on the map

15 cannibal settlements with coordinates. If the game data places a settlement underground, it is marked as underground in the table, along with its depth below ground.

Data source

Where the map comes from and what it doesn't show

This map is a fan-made tool by ZAP-Hosting and is not affiliated with Endnight Games.

Calculated from the server files

Terrain and locations come from the official Dedicated Server files (Build 3488796 (Windows Dedicated Server, 2020-09-04)). We render the terrain relief ourselves from elevation values and ground types, using our own colors. We do not use the game's map image or textures.

Island dimensions

The map covers 3,500 × 3,500 meters. The terrain rises to 250 m, and sea level is at 41.5 m. In total, the map shows 66 locations with their in-game coordinates.

Data limitations

The files only contain objects placed at fixed locations in the world. Loot generated randomly or by scripts, such as weapons, armor, and supplies in crates, is therefore missing. Cave interiors are not mapped, only their entrances.

FAQ

The Forest Map FAQ

Quick answers about the map, caves, cannibal villages, coordinates and items in The Forest.

The map shows 66 fixed island locations with world coordinates (X and Z) and terrain elevation, plus depth below ground for underground locations. You also get the nearest cave entrance and, if you enter your position, its distance from you. For example: From the starting point (X 326 / Z 1231), the nearest cave entrance is at X -21 / Z 1225, 347 m away. Copy coordinates and links with one click, without signing in.

Filter by “Cave Entrances” at the top. The map shows 22 entrances on the surface of the game world: 7 walk-in entrances, 5 diving entrances, 9 rope descents and the sinkhole at X 171 / Z 49. The table below lists each entrance with its coordinates and terrain elevation. The map does not show passages and rooms inside caves, only entrances and underground locations with their depth.

This page does not show where to find the map item in-game, because it is not one of the 66 fixed locations in the data. You don't need it for this page: The Forest Map runs independently of the game in your browser, free and without sign-up.

The game files contain 8 flintlock pistol parts at fixed locations, numbered 1 through 8. Coordinates (part: position): 1: X -769 / Z 1458; 2: X 768 / Z 1528; 3: X -43 / Z 1047; 4: X 832 / Z 442; 5: X 1154 / Z -525; 6: X 1608 / Z 663; 7: X 599 / Z -1140; 8: X 1428 / Z -1207. Search the map for “Flintlock” to highlight them all.

The map includes 7 cannibal villages: X -817 / Z 195; X -725 / Z 1187; X -187 / Z 781; X -18 / Z 1079; X 125 / Z -671; X 517 / Z -26; X 889 / Z -880. The “Cannibals” filter also shows camps and beach houses. According to the game data, 1 of them are underground.

Not on this map, because these items aren't fixed objects in the world data. The map only shows items found at fixed locations, such as the flintlock pistol parts and the machete in a cave. Loot generated randomly or by scripts in the game is not shown.

X increases eastward, Z northward, elevation is in meters, and sea level is at 41.5 m. You don't need to know any coordinates: Tap “Set on map” and click your location, such as a lake or the coast. The list will then sort by distance.

The island is fixed, not randomly generated. The map covers 3,500 × 3,500 meters, the terrain rises to 250 m, and sea level is at 41.5 m. Terrain and locations come from the official Dedicated Server files (Build 3488796 (Windows Dedicated Server, 2020-09-04)). We render the relief ourselves from elevation data and do not use the game’s map image.

No. This is the island map from the first game, The Forest. Sons of the Forest takes place on a different island. You can find its own Sons of the Forest Map among the other tools on this page.
