Mud map

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mud map is an Australian term for an informal map, intended to assist, but with no pretentions to accuracy or completeness. The term originates in such a map drawn in mud or dust with a stick,[1] perhaps in response to a query by a stranger.

Examples of use
