That's very generous of you with the gift card, Diamond. Hope it provides an extra incentive for some people to take part.
Looking forward to seeing the entries.
This should be a little more cut and dried than last month's challenge.
Your mission this month is to map a locale from ANY novel, short story, novella, etc etc. Sci Fi, Fantasy, Western, Horror, Mystery, whatever genre you want, whatever type of map you want. The winner of this month's Challenge will get one of these:

And also: A $20 US dollar Amazon gift card sponsored by me. I most likely will not enter this month's challenge, but if I do, and if I happen to win, it'll be the same rule as last time I did this - I get the compass, and the runner-up gets the gift card. In the case of a tie, EACH winner will get a gift card (except me).
Don't forget to title your threads like so: February 2016 Challenge: <your title goes here>
Also don't forget to preface your work-in-progress attachments/pictures with the tag: ### LATEST WIP ###
If you don't put that tag in there, people can't view your entry in the thumbnail line-up when it's time to vote.
This challenge will end on or around Monday, February 29th. The gift card may take a few days to get to the winner, however, because I'm on vacation for two weeks starting that day.
Good luck, and may the best map win!

Great challenge! This is a great practice for anyone here at the guild hoping to take on professional work in the future!
I have intended to do a city map over Lovecraft’s Innsmouth for a while, perhaps this is the time? (Is that valid for this challenge?)
Hoping to see some awesome entries again this month!
Cheers,

After my attempt to murder the Hyboria map I have some ideas

Diamond says in his initial comment "map a locale from ANY novel..." I'd think that covers a specific location in a book, but no doubt he can clarify for you.
"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"
The shadow over Innsmouth is located in only one location mostly so I guess it fits the challenge theme perfectly.
