Above is an example of how a town map might look.
If you click on the orange icon directly below the map on the left, the list will switch to "Buildings". Instead of seeing your villagers names, you can click on Nook's Shop, Tailor, Town Hall, Museum, Gate, and the Bus Stop.
Each icon on the map represents a different place in the town. Below is a list of each icon on the map and what they represent.
