I think that, you know, it looks pencil and paper like on graph paper almost. It's on a gridded paper. And I think that's a good idea. So, yeah, and there's a bunch of those.

There's like an appendix full of those, a bunch of generic maps. You can use them or they're just inspiration saying, look how easy it is to make a map sort of thing.
