Need A Tool

[Sparky McDibben]

Hey all,

I need a tool that will allow me to make a quick diagram of a town. I literally just need something that's free that lets me graph out where stuff is. Thoughts?

I usually use MS Paint, or Excel with the cells set to square sizes.

If you want something really ASAP, would drawing on paper and taking pics with your phone work?

My first thought was cartographer's tools, but I realize we may be talking about two different things.

Google a map of the appropriate type and use that?

Thanks to all of you - I really appreciate all the ideas!

I was about to write "a piece of charcoal would work" but I reread the question.
