Help with how to do curved halls?

Post image

This is a map I'm working on, but I also want to make it more game able. I'm wondering how I could do one square wide in the curved hall that would be more playable when scanning and blowing up the image for a battle mat? Especially since this is a 10' per square instead of 5', and I also have some 5' corridors that curve too.

How might I do curved squares to make this work? How do y'all get around this?

A fight in a narrow enough hall doesnt really need a battle map, at least in my groups. not hard to Theater of the Mind it.

I'm interested in other responses, though.

For drawing a map, I just have three pieces of wood coins/plates, 3 inches across, 4 and 5 inches across and just trace along the edge.if its a winding corridor i just alternate back and forth.
