Re: Non-CC maps art thread
Here's one i did for a cartographersguild challege. You had to map 2 points and a pathway full of danger between the points. Most did cities, but I chose a different approach. My kids came up with the idea, and helped decide the danger points. Notice the zombie in the upper right? (It's a big one - actually produced twice this size).

ROFL! We need more names like that, no doubt.
I'll start saving!
Edit: No wait! Don't tell me there's an actual Dingle Bingle Hill as well?!

Yes there is!! Click on the link and you'll see an actual street sign! 
Re: Non-CC maps art thread
hehe. Amazing.
I always wonder how names such as those come about. I grew up in a town called 'Farum', which originated when the the first German settlers.... well, settled. South of the town there's a lake, and explaining the directions to their brethren they would go "Fahr Uhm [the lake]", that is - go around the lake.
See how that makes sense? Now try to make the same sense of Dingle Bingle Hill and Farfrompoopen Road
I can't help but smile no matter where that thought takes me

It looks like a gryffon rampant contourné. I like it.
