Sometimes, maps published in fantasy novels aren't comprehensive enough for a given reader's tastes. Sometimes, there are no maps at all where a map is sorely needed. Sometimes, we just like maps, because maps are cool. Thus, this thread.

Post maps of places in fantasy literature. Anything goes, from Middle-Earth to Malazan. The maps can be official or fan-made. Just don't post the maps that appear in the books, excepting extenuating circumstances such as the maps only appear in the final book of a series but are useful from book one.

Here are a few that I've found useful

A Song of Ice and Fire

Although not a map there is a PhD thesis by Dr. Stefan Ekman of Lund University, Sweden Writing Worlds, Reading Landscapes: An Exploration of Settings in Fantasy which deals extensively with the prevalence, or lack there of, of fantasy maps. He also analyses a few maps and discusses how they are used. If you have access to a university library system I think you can view the book online, but I am not sure. It is well worth a look if you are interested in maps in fantasy books.

wow, is the firswt westros on right?
I musta been drunk the first time i read the books then because my visions of the world were completely back to front, with the iron isles being to the east of winterfell for a start and Dorne somehow being north westerly

Those maps are awesome. I am bookmarking this thread because of the awesome contained. Also, I think maybe I'll check out that book.
