Help needed - western maps

[Psion]

Hey all,

I'm preppnig a Spellslinger game for GenCon, and find myself wanting for some maps of western towns and buildings. Possibly a well to do trade hub and a dusty little frontier town.

Dog House Rules has some stuff, but there's lots of non-map stuff attached I don't need.

Hotz Stuff looks cool, but it's a bit costly for me, and I don't need the fold-ups, and the interiors lack grids.

Anybody know of any resources, gaming oriented or Real Life, that I can use as an aid in this vein?

Why not start with the best?

Wow. That looks pretty close to what I am looking for.

It also looks like a print product. What are the chances I could get it in good time for GenCon? Hmmm...

This might serve, in a pinch:

The Cowtown Creator only has sample maps of buildings, there isn't actually a town map in there.

Did you check out our free map of The Flat?

No, I sure didn't. Thanks!

I've got a couple of western maps on my map page; check out the Deadwood and Saloons maps.

Excellent. Have the FCWs of those?

Anything resembling a key for Deadwood? Is it based on the TV show of the same name?

I like the Cowtown Creator a lot. However, if you need ready to go maps the Sidewinder line from DHR is the way to go. Yes, you get lots of other stuff besides maps, as you said. However Cowtown Creator retails for 19.95. You can get all three of the Frontier Towns: Fort Griffin products (Vol 1-3) for 20.25 which together have detailed maps of 17 buildings in Fort Griffin, and match up with the free Fort Griffin area map. So, for essentially the same money you get ready made maps. If you don't need the detailed NPC info and plot hooks just ignore them. And you can download the DHR products, so worry getting them before GenCon.

No, sorry. I made both of those a long while back, and have long since dumped the FCW's as I didn't intend on making any more changes.

It's inspired by it, but I didn't make any real attempt to model the map exactly off of the layout of the town in the show.
