The farm map generator draws a working farmstead on five-foot squares. A cart track runs across the lower part of the sheet from one edge to the other. Above it is the farmyard, fenced, with a lane down to the track. The farmhouse stands at one top corner of the yard: a kitchen at the front with the hearth on the end wall, a long table and two benches, and a bedroom at the back with two beds and a chest. The barn stands at the other corner, with four stalls along the outer wall holding cattle, a pig or a heap of hay, bales stacked on the floor, the cart, a ladder up to the loft and double doors opening onto the yard. In the yard itself are the well with its windlass, a chicken coop with the hens scratching round it, one or two haystacks, a water trough and a woodpile. On either side of the yard is one of an orchard in rows, a duck pond fringed with reeds, a fenced pigsty in the mud, or a sheep pasture. Across the track, two or three fields run to the bottom edge: wheat, a ploughed field, a cabbage patch or a cattle pasture. Every place is numbered and keyed.
How the farm is laid out
Farms like this follow the work. The house and the barn face each other across the yard so the farmer can see both from the kitchen door. The well is in the middle, the coop is by the house where the eggs are collected, and the haystacks are by the barn. The animals that need watching are next to the yard, and the crops that only need the plough are across the track. The fields are fenced, and trees line the track where the hedges grow.
What happens on a farm
Farms are where a lot of adventures start and where some of the best small ones happen. Something has been taking the sheep. The barn is where the farmer's son hid the stranger, and the loft is where the stranger is now. A farm under siege by goblins or the walking dead is a defence scenario with real choices: the house has one door and a hearth, the barn has a loft to shoot from, and the yard fence won't stop anything. The fields are open ground where nothing can hide, except in the wheat.
Free SVG and PNG downloads
Both formats are free for your games, streams and published adventures. The PNG is a 1920-pixel render ready for Roll20, Foundry or Owlbear Rodeo, and the Print button gives you a black-and-white sheet for the table. The SVG is the vector original: open it in Inkscape, Affinity or Figma to burn the barn, flood the pond or move the herd. Everything on the map is drawn by our own code, so there's no attribution to carry and no asset licence to read.
What it won't do
It draws one farmstead. It doesn't draw the village down the track, the woods beyond the fields or the farmhouse's upper floor. For the village, roll a village map; for the woods, a forest map; for the manor that owns the land, a manor map.
Name the farm and the family
The halfling name generator and the D&D human name generator name the family, the town name generator names the nearest market town, and the witch name generator names whoever lives at the edge of the fields.
