On a not unrelated note, I've been trying to make a 3D map viewer that

surfarray should do it better, though I've never used it.

Pygame seems quite flexible that way. Perhaps if you could construct the 
landscape of the map as a n-dimensional surfarray, you would be able to 
avoid creating too many surfaces. Since the final image -the 3D viewer -
may have only two dimensions. It could be any kind of screen or surface. 

I don't know that much about what I'm saying, though!
