no kings, no gods, no masters but a comfy chair and no socks
Here's some maps that have influenced the way I think of game maps:

The Bad & Ugly:


Notice that this map doesn't actually do anything. It barely works to describe the continent and it doesn't have any uses. And of course since it's 7th Sea, the shape of the continent and the geography makes no sense at all.

The Pretty:


MERP is dated, but I really like this map style. It's informative and easy to read. You got roads, terrain and all kinds of poo poo laid out clearly there.

Something Something:


The Eberron maps are very informative and actually worth something as a game resource.

Maps should be actual gaming resources, not just lovely illustration pieces. If you can't actually use a map as a map, what is it good for?
