Hear, hear.  I had something of a bit of fun creating my own map of
Cheyenne for an adventure.  I've found a site that's proven quite useful
for it, too:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/bomb/sfeature/mapablast.html

Give the site an address or street name (I chose Missile Drive in
Cheyenne.  Go figure.), select a one-megaton blast (About how powerful I
figure the Ghostrock bombs were.) and it gives you a blast radius,
estimated number of casualties in the zones, etc.  Placed it over an
actual map of the city (Available at any search engine.) and had a good
idea of how to plot my adventure.

Imagination, folks.  That's what it's all about.
