I too embellish mapped directions with sea monsters and "Here be Dragons" and "Terra Incognita," etc. When I read this article, I found myself thinking of Scylla & Charybdis from Homer's "Odyssey."

I'm delighted to hear the "monsters" have a purpose - makes them much more real, somehow! Also enjoy the thought of Scotchdrnkr & his colleague adding sea-monsters to their river surveys - if it wasn't for getting them into trouble, I would love to see their clients' faces if a few slipped through the net and made it to the final version... :--) Love these maps!

We used the no print pencil because you couldn't allow these to show up on the printed copies that would be sent out to the client. Basically it was purple pencil and when you ran it through the print machine they wouldn't show up.
