I won't vote for my own layout, so here are my choices:
Job well done to all designers!
There is only one I liked so far:
Venango and Erie
That layout would be perfect if there was a run around somewhere on the road.
The others, I have not formed enough study to choose and rank yet. I will continue to work towards ranking the other 4.
Just did a quick tally of the first 15 votes.
There is a couple of voters which hasn't used the complete name of the layout copied and pasted from Spacemouse's web page, and whose votes may consquently be open to interpretation, but this is what I think the running tab is after 15 votes:

The Du Bois and Punxzy looked pretty well planned out, but it was a little crowded and the roads seemed a little tacky, but just not my type of layout.

The whole time I was programming the site, I never really evaluated the layouts. So here goes since no one else wants to start the ball rolling. I found it easy to cut and paste off the voting page.
