    Default Map symbols for flooded/drowned cities

    What symbols do maps use for cities that have became swallowed by the sea. I don't mean a seasonal flood, but really submerged? I guess on regional/world maps you can't do much better than a general city 'dot' in a different colour but on a smaller scale map like a topographical 50k or so?

    You can use whatever symbol you want to fit the style map you're creating, and if its meaning isn't obvious (ie. the symbol is an illustrated depiction of a drowned settlement) then add a key/legend to the map to explain the meaning.

    Thanks; I had thought there were some standard symbols but in a way this means more freedom for me.
