Very much like the first one. I'm trying to create a desert town set around an oasis.
Well, I don't have the exact prompt anymore, but if you are using Bing Image Creator, try something like this:

high quality digital art style. vertical straight top-down street level without gridlines floor plan map of a medieval desert town with crooked and winding streets. town buildings are small, tightly packed, with red and brown roofs. town has scatted palm trees. town has a large oasis pond with clear blue water and many small tress. there is vast rocky sandy desert surrounding the town. map is like used in D&D.

While this isn't fool-proof, of course, "top-down" is the most important part for trying to get a map like this one:

Earlier variations of the prompt gave me these (some of which might be more what you're looking for):

Awesome, thank you! Amusingly I had tried "top down" but didn't try "top-down" -- foiled by a hyphen! :P And "street level" and "used like in D&D" both seemed to make a huge difference. Sweet, making some variants now and will post what it wrought later! (And for the game I'll probably kitbash a few together in Photoshop and use the AI generation tools in there to flesh it out more too.)

That's great! I'm glad I was able to help. As you know it is a lot of trial and error, but once you get stuff that works it usually only takes a little tweaking to get good results. Plus a bit of photoshop if needed and you're good to go.

I've used other programs like Wonderdraft for a while, and what I like it I can bring the AI maps in as assets and work with that, too.
 

So, wife asked me to prompt something with the food "Toad In A Hole." Which BTW are two different foods based upon your geographic location, one is Yorkshire Pudding and Gravy (England) or an egg cooked inside a piece of buttered bread with a hole in the middle (USA)...

First I tried, Drawing of "Toad in a hole" and then, Drawing of the food "Toad in a hole"

Welp, it defaulted to the English version with the food. Then I chose to use one of the generated idea prompts: Fantasy Tavern Scene: An image of a bustling fantasy tavern, with various fantasy creatures enjoying 'Toad in the Hole' at wooden tables, lit by warm candlelight.
That got us this...

I didn't realize that there was a goblin bar scene in my city...
