    Default Maps! (searching for a city)

    It's one of those days again.
    Google fails me time and again.
    All my old bookmarks have dissapeared.
    My brain has decided that it does not remember any of the go-to sites I have used in the past.

    I need some nice-looking, generic city maps to use in an urban game of D&D.
    When you need maps, where do you go? Do you make them yourself?
    Links, advice and discussion are welcome.

    I sometimes cheat by using a real map of a medieval city. Very handy, especially if they don't have many landmarks named (so you don't have to change much - you just photochop a little).

    The rest of the time I just draw them by hand but I guess that doesn't help you...

    I just found this (at least one mirror works). After five minutes of using, I find it Awesome. Random generation, so it takes a little tweaking to get the map you want.

    Here's a small town map-

    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Cartographer's Guild, arguably the best & most active online community of map makers in existence. Updates & new content are always flowing in, the tutorials are fabulous, & their forums are well organized for easy searching.

    They rock, & I'm proud to be a member there as well.
