Fantastic Maps
I really like this guy's maps.  He also has some tutorials on how to make a wide variety of maps using computer software techniques.

Dungeon Maps

A dungeon map using random graph paper.  Dyson cross hatching.  Added some bricks to this one.  This one was intended for three different types of creature.  Any guesses which ones?

Matty suggested I add a bridge with water.  I figured the dam and reservoir might be useful.

Old School Dungeon Map

Another old school dungeon map based on Dyson's style of mapping.


To create this map I made some specialty graph paper where I loaded a grid pattern into Photoshop and then made in image where copied the grid and rotated it at several different angles.  I then printed out the new graph paper and drew the dungeon map on that graph.  This is the same room sequence as my previous 27 room 3D dungeon, the rooms are just in different positions.

Below is an example of a random starting grid for mapping.

Here is another sheet with all same size grids but different angles:
