As work on the Illinois map expansion for American Truck Simulator continues, we’re excited to bring you a first look at the Prairie State’s signature landscapes. Today’s blog showcases the prairies, farmland, and wide-open vistas that define so much of Illinois. 随着《美国卡车模拟器》伊利诺伊州地图扩展工作的继续，我们很高兴为您带来草原州标志性景观的第一眼。今天的博客展示了定义伊利诺伊州大部分地区的草原、农田和开阔的景色。 Illinois sits at the heart of the Midwest, combining Great Lakes influences in the north with vast agricultural plains stretching across the center and south. One of the most striking things about driving here is how quickly the scenery opens up. Long, straight highways cut through endless rows of corn and soybeans, with classic red barns, grain silos, and elevated storage facilities appearing regularly on the horizon. 伊利诺伊州位于中西部的中心，北部受五大湖的影响，中部和南部有广阔的农业平原。在这里开车最引人注目的一点是风景开得有多快。笔直的长公路穿过绵延不绝的玉米和大豆，经典的红色谷仓、粮仓和高架仓储设施定期出现在地平线上。 Wind farms are another distinct element of Illinois’ scenery. You’ll spot these modern giants from roads such as the US-20, I-39, and I-55, where lines of turbines sweep across the prairie. These areas will offer great opportunities for scenic screenshots as you travel through the state. 风电场是伊利诺伊州风景的另一个独特元素。在US-20、I-39和I-55等公路上，你会发现这些现代巨人，在这些公路上，一排排涡轮机扫过草原。当你穿越该州时，这些地区将为风景截图提供绝佳的机会。 Much of Illinois’ terrain was shaped by ancient glacial movements, resulting in mostly flat landscapes with gentle, rolling variations. Routes like the I-74, US-24, and US-67 pass through a mix of open prairies, subtle hills, and river valleys that add variety to the otherwise expansive fields. As drivers move further south, especially along IL-3, they’ll notice that the terrain becomes more varied with bluffs, low hills, and winding river corridors. 伊利诺伊州的大部分地形是由古代冰川运动塑造的，导致大部分地形平坦，变化平缓。I-74、US-24和US-67等路线穿过开阔的草原、微妙的丘陵和河谷，为原本广阔的田野增添了多样性。随着驾驶员进一步向南行驶，特别是沿着IL-3行驶，他们会注意到地形变得更加多样化，有悬崖、低矮的山丘和蜿蜒的河流走廊。 Agriculture is the backbone of Illinois, and more than three-quarters of the state’s land is dedicated to farming. Corn, soybeans, hay, and wheat fields dominate the countryside along I-57, I-72, and many of the rural highways. To represent these iconic landscapes faithfully, our teams have created new prairie grasses, flowering plants, and improved crops that will bring the fields to life in every season. 农业是伊利诺伊州的支柱，该州四分之三以上的土地用于农业。玉米、大豆、干草和麦田在I-57、I-72和许多农村公路沿线的农村占主导地位。为了忠实地呈现这些标志性的景观，我们的团队创造了新的草原草、开花植物和改良的作物，这些作物将使每个季节的田地都充满活力。 Forested areas, although less frequent than farmland, are found throughout the state—especially near waterways or in protected natural zones. Expect to see oak savannas, riverbank forests, and lush wooded pockets breaking up the open plains. These areas help diversify the scenery and offer refreshing transitions between long stretches of farmland. 森林地区虽然不如农田常见，但遍布全州，尤其是在水道附近或自然保护区。预计会看到橡树稀树草原、河岸森林和茂密的树林打破开阔的平原。这些地区有助于使风景多样化，并在漫长的农田之间提供令人耳目一新的过渡。 Truckers can also look forward to discovering regional landmarks, small towns, and characteristic Midwestern views throughout Illinois. From expansive wind farms and roadside grain elevators to scenic prairies and river crossings, there will be plenty of moments to appreciate the state’s natural charm. 卡车司机还可以期待在伊利诺伊州发现地区地标、小城镇和中西部特色景观。从广阔的风电场和路边的粮仓到风景优美的草原和河流渡口，将有很多时间来欣赏这个州的自然魅力。 If you’re looking forward to hauling freight across Illinois, don’t forget to add this map expansion to your Steam wishlist .
