A red X to mark the spot. This is probably the most important feature! Landmarks to determine a starting point and a finishing point (the treasure spot), and landmarks to help the hunters find their way in the middle. Trees, shrubs, or plants. Trees can be made by a simple vertical line with horizontal lines squiggled on top of it that starts wider at the base and get increasingly smaller toward the top. Make sure to leave a small portion of your vertical line uncovered at the bottom to create the trunk of the tree. You can also make more detailed trees if you want to spend the time.
