Allan’s America Background Map 4K - Dark

Add to Collection Follow Private Message

A dark background map for American Truck Simulator, with detailed terrain,

shaded relief and clear coastlines. Designed for 4K screens and works at lower

resolutions too.


Covers North America and surrounding regions, with added land for ATMX,

Grand Utopia of America and Beyond’s Pacific islands. Coastlines have been

adjusted to better match the in-game maps.


Based on the V1.8 Light build tested on ATS 1.61. This dark edition awaits

its own in-game test. The mod has no version restriction.


Enable one background map at a time. FullScreen Maps is optional.


Created by Allan using Natural Earth and Mapzen/Tilezen terrain data, with

source data from USGS, NOAA, INEGI, Canadian open data and ArcticDEM.

V2.2.1
2026-09-24
Supported Game Versions: 1.61 177

V2.2.1 — Clearer job-map road colours

• Improved the distinction between explored and unexplored roads on the job-selection map: amber for explored roads and grey for unexplored roads.

• Light editions retain a darker grey for better contrast against the lighter background.

• Compatibility with Jacob’s SCS UI Tweaks is preserved. Without a colour pack, the background uses its own defaults; compatible colour packs placed above it retain their own colours.

• Removed release numbers from artwork to prevent outdated version labels.

Terrain, coastlines, map coverage, alignment and zoom settings are unchanged.

Enable only one background edition/version at a time.

V2.2
2026-09-23
Supported Game Versions: 1.61 56

ATS V2.2 — Light, Dark and Dark Coloured

• Added support/compatibility for Jacob’s SCS UI Tweaks for ATS and ETS2.

• Revised the ATMX eastern coastline and restored water beneath the sea-crossing bridges.

• Preserved each edition’s default colours, map alignment and zoom settings.

• Updated version artwork and installation guidance.

Jacob’s SCS UI Tweaks is a collection of 9 individual UI colour packs that work across both games. The download also includes two support packages for the base UI map—one for each game.

Colour packs are optional and downloaded separately. Place your chosen compatible colour pack above the background and follow Jacob’s installation instructions. Without a colour pack, the background retains its default colours.

Enable only one background edition at a time. FullScreen Maps is optional and also goes above the background.
