Aquille is located near the centre of the town. It is the oldest district in the town, and is where the town spawn building, the Third Endeavour, is located. To the north of this district is Aquille Reserve, a naturalistic park home to various memorabilia from throughout the town's history, plus town embassies. The Purest Pines CityPlace, a large, cuboidal building containing prebuilt apartments for residents and the Primary Storage for the town is located in this district as well. | Aquille is located near the centre of the town.

Chauser was the second district to be made in Purest Pines. Historically, it was meant to take up a clearing on the northern side of a river between it and the Aquille District. It was built up first in late 2023 from the James Bay to the Cree Era, but InternetCurtains demolished most of the buildings in 2024 so that it could be rebuilt later. InternetCurtains retained several buildings, however, such as the Disco Tower, a skyscraper built by former resident DiscoEwe4410090, whose apartments housed the first residents in the town; Bingy Estate, a large mansion built by InternetCurtains for former comayor Bingy726; and the USSNA Perm Base, a military base deemed widely to be unsightly, built by banned player USFriskI. | Chauser was the second district to be made in Purest Pines.

Reconstruction of Chauser started in December 2024 during the Second Vermont Era at the height of Purest Pines, led by InternetCurtains and Bingy726 and built with help from BuilderBoy59, Amartine60, Jazbbwtyl, Platinum201547 and Aqualicorn, all of whom were residents of the town at the time. Progress was quick, and before long, an assortment of new buildings were completed, including InternetCurtains Estate, 'The Dives', a refurbished ice rail station, headquarters for the short-lived newspaper 'Purest Papers', and more. These buildings can be found in Chauser today.

Near the centre of the district is Cordan Plaza, a large, hollow building with an underground section containing an inn for residents, the Maple Tavern, an automatic music disc player, and Secondary Storage for the district. Flags of the nation of Cree are flown at the top of the building. | Near the centre of the district is Cordan Plaza, a large, hollow building with an underground section containing an inn for residents, the Maple Tavern, an automatic music disc player, and Secondary Storage for the district.

The 'Mercer Minipark' is located at the southern edge of the central rows, acting as a district centre similar to the Cordan Plaza and the Purest Pines CityPlace. It consists of two towers surrounded by a small park built originally by a resident called FlakeyYT. | The 'Mercer Minipark' is located at the southern edge of the central rows, acting as a district centre similar to the Cordan Plaza and the Purest Pines CityPlace.

A large undeveloped but claimed area is located to the south of Mercer directly, although this is not considered to be part of the district and is reserved for later use.

To the south, the Cherry District acts as a residential area, with cherry-tree-themed plot borders and roads. The easternmost road in the district was turned into an arcade by former resident Gheddochris. Three small, near-identical structures at the wilderness end of the three roads in the district commemorate the first three nations that Purest Pines joined: Canada, James Bay, and Laurentia.

Merlin is a small, isolated district in the far northwestern part of the town. Almost all of it was built by the owners of the former town there of the same name: Zimzam2 and Hamsterpee. Not much is known about this town, and despite its lifespan stretching from early 2023 to the end of 2024, little contact was made with the owners. | Merlin is a small, isolated district in the far northwestern part of the town.

However, around October 2024, Merlin 42-dayed finally, and Purest Pines claimed the town for later use, given its large size, close distance, and incredible beauty. Between these two points in time, the town was griefed moderately. Henceforth, it was rebuilt by InternetCurtains and Hyerin_ye in 2025. It serves no major purpose in Purest Pines currently, other than aesthetics.

Purest Pines has an incredibly broad and rich history. Throughout its two years of existence, the town has manifested itself in seven separate nations, changing nations on eight occasions. Hence, its history is split up into the eight distinct ''eras'' that follow: | |||
