in addition to what comes with the core set, i also got settlements, goblins, and the gryphon inn. so lots of images to choose from, but for the life of me, can not find a wagon trail.

i got the grasslands, the forest, the little bushes the baddies are hiding behind, the wagons they are looking to attack, along with the PCs and NPCs. BUT WHERE THE HELL are wagon trails? the best i can find are dirt patches?

You'll probably have to create or obtain one yourself.

There may be something in the FG store, but I have not looked.

There are 3rd Party maps that have those. I have this one (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/221236/Quick-Encounters-Woods-Wagon-Train?term=quick+encounters+Woods+wa), it works pretty well.

Use one of those dirt patches as an image brush - info in the Wiki here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996640720/Creating+Maps+with+the+Brush+Tool#Creating-Maps-with-an-Image-Brush

Pinterest has a huge selection. As in yuuuge.

Personally I find an existing map and then spruce it up with the FG map tools - placeables, fog, etc....

That's what I do too. Saves me a ton of time building from them from scratch.
