This is a standard example of a local map, used for cities, etc within larger areas. Hopefully by proving an easy to use template, more of the local maps can be complete and uniform. At the very least, the copy pasta gives a quick way to get started. :)

Copy Pasta

Copy and paste this mess into a new page for a head start on that local map:

<table><tr><td style="vertical-align:top">
[[Name of Locale]]
<pre style="background:none;border:0;font-size:medium">

| x | x---x x-x
| | |/     \|
x x x       x
</pre></td><td style="vertical-align:top">
[[Key:Local Map Symbols|Key]]<br>
<br>—,X,|,\,/: Walkable path
<br>^>v<: Arrows down
