Thanks for the help.  I think I might try the Zuzzy mat; looks like it could do the trick quite nicely for my zombie-town.

Thanks!

Not cheap, but lovely and very easy are the felt roads from Hotz mats. Just roll up after use, and 1 full set will be enough for a very large table.

I have recently started using Sangennarus' method, however I use asphalt roof shingles instead of MDF.
Because 1- I have a bunch of them, and 2- they can be heated with a hair dryer to flop over any terrain (like conforming to hills or dips).

They are also very easy to carve, heavy enough to stay where you put them, and easy to cut.
