Where can I get a map of Lord of the Rings?
Hope I have posted this subject in the right place?! Sorry if not.
I am about to re-read LOTR yet again and I would like to have a map on which I could mark the travels of all the companions, as I read the book. This is something I have always wanted to do, as I struggle a bit with Middle Earth geography, and doing this might make things clearer in my mind. It'd also be fun I think. But I can't find a suitable map. Ideally I would like a map of whole of middle earth, or at least whole area covered in LOTR. I would hate to have a really beautifully painted poster map or something and spoil it by drawing on it, so I think I need maybe a black and white map, or pale coloured, and simple but functional. I'd like one that shows all the places mentioned in LOTR, if one exists? Ideas anyone please? Thanks. |

Try an online bookstore, or the Maps section of a regular one.

There's one on-line you can consult, but just to warn you it's not perfect.

Yowsers! Big file! Sorry folks.
I have the perfert map for you.....black and white with red lettering.
E-mail me your addy and I will send it to you. I'll also post it here, but I think you will get a better image if you print it directly from the file. BTW, you do have a printer, right? Also, it is quite large and I doubt it will fit on a 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper, (maybe 11 X 17 if your printer will handle it) but if you have photoshop or an equivalent you could make two seperate images and then tape them together or something. My e-mail addy is mcasto@bellsouth.net. |

You're welcome! :)
Does anyone know which publication of LOTR that map comes from? I know it is the fold out map from a hardback.

Re: You're welcome! :)
I don't know where that map is from but I can tell you which one it isn't. The first hardback edition of Unfinished Tales came with a fold out map, but I don't think there was any red on it. Also it had Lond Daer, Eryn Vorn and Druwaith Iaur on it, and those aren't on your map. OTOH I did notice a thing or two in red that I haven't seen before: like the "Nen" something or other (can't read it, it's too small) near Isengard and what seems to be the location of the Pillar of the White Hand.

Re: You're welcome! :)
The map is from a somewhat recent publication.....within the last 10 years at least. My friend's hardback has that map inside FOTR.....I just can't remember what the front looks like.
LOL! I just decided to check my copy of LOTR and sure enough I have the same map. I have paperbacks (with dust jackets illustrated by Lee) published by Houghton Mifflin in 1987. The map is the same only it is not a fold out and it is only in black and white. |
