Maps of the City of Greyhawk?

I bought the Greyhawk: The adventure Begins on eBay, and the damn thing just arrived without the map booklet. HAs anyone keyed the maps, or at least have them broken into the various quarters?

The map is beautifully detailed, but man... I hate CC2. And this map looks kind of like the CC2 style. I just hate the map CC2 produces. Blech, blech, blech.
The colors are nasty, the lines are ugly, it just looks clunky.
(No offense, Maldin. There ARE no good mapping tools out there in my opinion.)

I may just have to produce a map of my own of the "Free City".
I'll post it at some point, if I manage to find the time to finish it.
(Right now, I got the walls, the river, the redoubt, and some of the internal roads.)
It's slow going though, because I'm literally doing it by hand (well, by bezier curve coordinates really)...

Speaking of which, as far as copyright and OGL are concerned, there's nothing illegal about making our own maps of areas like "The Free City" as long as we stay away from the names, right?

My intention was to create the map, give it numbered labels, and but then either leave the labels out of the map itself or say things like ("Church of St. C"), and let people figure out who this mysterious C person is...

There used to be a webpage showing the 'City of Hawks' Greyhawk map, but the link I have to it seems to be dead.
Worth noting that the City of Hawks map is a sketch map of Gary Gygax's layout of the city, which has never been published in detail, and which is quite different from the TSR version that appeared in the City of Greyhawk box.
 

If anyone wants to see the progress being made on the map I'm doing, click the link below to go to my blog (I had to create one to comment on Erik's blog, so I figured I might as well use it for the powers of good).

So far I've finished the Citadel, most of the High Quarter buildings (though they could use a little tweaking), the High Market, the walls and towers, the major roads in the High Quarter/Garden Quarter, and the river...

I just show a small clip so far, but it's enough to get a bit of an idea of the color scheme I'm using.
