If you’re planning on running Hoard of the Dragon Queen and using miniatures, you might considering drawing the encounter locations in Chapter 1 on a wet or dry erase battlemat.  To make things easier, I’ve taken the map of Greenest found in the adventure and overlaid a grid to use as a reference for drawing.  Each square is 5 feet by 5 feet.  The map comes in two versions: one with an all black grid, and a second with a semi-transparent black grid.  Both are linked below.

The map of Greenest in Hoard of the Dragon Queen was illustrated by Jared Blando.  You can purchase a high resolution version of it and other maps at his website, The Red Epic.
