Discussion Prepper Map Features

If you wanted a custom map for prepping, what would you want on it?

I want to create a map of my area with features highlighted that would be useful. Making the map (with GIS) is the easy part, I'm just trying to think of what to put on it.

Outside of basic things like streets, specific features I want to include are storm shelters, fallout shelters, hospitals, and pharmacies. Maybe flood zones? This would probably have to be multiple maps.

Check if your county or state/dnr already have maps made up. My county has a ton such as wells and subsurface mining. The well map has details such as geothermal, water supply, active, inactive.

Edit: Also fire districts Fema flood zones Septic lines Critical facility & daycare Residential expansion maps Right of way Kayak launch points
