I think my point is being missed.  Yes, Iron Oasis should have come with a map of
some kind, but if you need a map of some other location, making one isn't all that
difficult.  I ponted the way to a couple utilities I've found, it's just a matter
of filling in a few blanks.  If you need a bar, put a bar somewhere.  I needed
Cheyenne, pulled some info, and got enough to fake the rest as I go along.  Less
hassle for all considered than harassing Shane to put out a Cheyenne book just for
lil ol' me.
