Tarkusian Cities, is, as the author puts it, an MD that is "always under construction". Begun on June 17, 2007, it is largely focused on the roads in several regions that Tarkus maintains, and numerous construction projects to improve those roads, often complemented with frequent maps. Many of these improvements also prominently feature as-of-yet unreleased transit modifications Tarkus is working for the NAM Team, such as new RHW and NWM features.

To date, four total regions have been shown, Cascadia Gorge/Wakeman, Argentum (a carryover from Tarkus' previous MD/CJ attempt, Argentum), Los Endos, and beginning with Update 41, Lenox. All of these, aside from Lenox, are situated in an arid or semi-arid climate similar to Eastern Oregon, often featuring Tarkus' own Wasco Terrain Mod, which was developed specifically for use in the MD.

A few tutorials have been shown in Tarkusian Cities as well, including a tutorial on using the NAM Road Curve Puzzle Pieces (Update 3) and a tutorial showing how Tarkus makes his road maps (Update 21).

Despite being updated rather infrequently and its rather specialized approach, it remains one of the most viewed MDs at SC4D, reaching nearly 40,000 views since its opening, and has been OSITM on two occasions, first in October 2007, and again in July 2008.
