More info

To find a resource map for The Island in ARK: Survival Ascended, the most reliable source is the ARK Official Community Wiki’s Resource Map for The Island. It lists all resource deposits—Crystal, Metal, Obsidian, Oil, Rich Metal, and Silica Pearls—and is kept up-to-date for ASA. For an additional visual reference, Destructoid published an ARK: Survival Ascended Resource Map that highlights every resource on The Island in a single map image. Together, these sources give you both the official data and a ready-to-use reference while you explore.

Note that ASA data can diverge between in-game mini-map coordinates and the resource map, and the wiki indicates ongoing updates as data is extracted from the game files. If you prefer an interactive experience, Ark-Unity also hosts a dedicated The Island guide with resource locations, spawn points, and explorer notes for the ASA map, which can be useful for planning bases and expeditions.
