What are you lookong for exactly? City maps are widely available. You can always use stuff like google earth and mapquest as well. Are you looking to design a modern city or use an existing one?

One advantage of a modern city is you can (and probably have) visited or lived in one. That takes out a lot of the hard work for you. Very easy to imagine cool locations when you have seen something first and.

Do you mean hex maps, six sided spaces? Or square grid maps. Or taking a supplement map and rebranding it modern? I don't think I've ever seen a hex map of a modern city. That could actually be very interesting. Better off just to use google earth and a ruler though, if you want it fast and dirty, and who doesn't...

I have the same question as the above poster. Do you mean maps of modern cities in the style of D&D maps (assuming you mean hex here) or do you mean you want existing D&D setting maps converted to be modern cities? Or maybe you are taking about terrain tiles?
