Is there a way to make a campaign set in a "sandbox", a rather small area with multiple landmarks that get visited often and NPCs that show up frequently to give quests or just shoot to shit?
I'm fairly new to the DM thing

Yes, and they are called city based campaigns. Check out Ptolus and Vornheim for ideas/inspiration.

There's also Slumbering Ursine Dunes, which works on a landmark system.

Part1 wasn't great, but it was pretty short.

Shadowrun has some books, Shadows in Focus along with a few others, which give a really detailed rundown of a single city. I got a lot of use from Spy Games prepping for myabortedDenver game.

>Gravity Falls from Gravity Falls
>Greenvale from Deadly Premonition
>Inaba from Persona4
And a fuckton of other examples, just copy the formula. Eccentric protagonist, quirky side characters, weird town, catchy music, evil mystery to be solved, the power of friendship......
