Map Symbols for Overland Maps? (non-hexagon)

[howandwhy99]

What Non-Hexagon symbols exist for overland maps in wargames and for early D&D?

For example,
dot = town or village
circle = city
square = fortress
etc.

Checking AD&D Land Adventures I find these different types of overland terrain:
Plain
Scrub
Forest
Desert
Hills
Mountains
Marsh

I can color different terrain types, but what awesome symbol sets exist for us non-dungeon map makers? I'm assuming wargames and cartographers have some historical precedent here.

This is from the old expert set. While the symbols are for hex maps, you can still use the small ones for non-hex maps. I use them for mine.
