"Old School" Map Symbols/Tokens

Hello All!  Has anyone seen/made tokens for the classic map symbols that graced the covers of those glorious old modules from years ago?  Something along these lines: If not, do you creative folk think these would be difficult to create?  I suppose that's the next step - figuring out how to make my own tokens. Thanks for your time! Howard

If you wanted to make these for yourself, get a high enough resolution image, cut them out, and make them .png files so they're transparent. draw a basic map out and use them as overlays. I considered doing something like this, but havent dug far enough to see if i'd be ripping someone off, which i'd like to avoid. :P Feel free to message me if you want a crash course in map making. I'm no wizard but I can show you how to do this.

In fact, I just made a 2 minute video for you that gives you the basic rundown as to how simple it is using your picture.&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/IUhEf3OMW5M" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/IUhEf3OMW5M</a>
Hi Klone!&nbsp; Thanks very much for your input, for taking the time to point me in the right direction, and for the video! Cheers!
