Looking for good maps

[Spearhavoc]

Like many DMs, I have pathetic artistic skills but still have to draw town and landscape maps. I'm looking for good sources for maps of all types, online or otherwise. I have heard that some old Palladium sourcebooks have lots of good maps. True? And if so which ones. Thanks.

You're welcome to use some that I've done, if you find them useful at all. They work best as player handouts, though.

Next would be the ProFantasy web site http://www.profantasy.com/ download their free viewer, then see their map library.

Here's one that I found off google.com:

And using my 733t paint skills (yes, that's right, Window's Paint) I converted it into this. I'm going to add a few more details, but it's essentially done:

I don't have any special online resources to recommend but I do suggest that you try to snap up out of date atlases; they are often sold off by libraries and schools, and occasionally end up in second hand bookstores. Also, maps of large parks and local area maps are useful; I recommend writing to rural chambers of commerce and asking them to mail you maps of local parks, recreation areas, etc. Usually they'll mail you a big package for free, typically with 3 or 4 maps useable for RPGs. Regional offices of government departments of Forests, Fisheries, Parks or Tourism also often have a wealth of free, useful maps.

The best set of RPG maps I've obtained for free so far was sent to me by the chamber of commerce for Mackenzie, BC, Canada.
