Title: Maps of Middle-Earth
Post by: MurMur on June 13, 2013, 12:43:08 PM

Here (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/maps.html) are some excellent maps of Tolkien's Middle-Earth. They aren't the most beautiful maps of that universe, but they are the most descriptive of them all.
A good source of inspiration.
If you want more maps, they can be found here (http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Category:Maps_of_Middle-earth) and here (http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Maps).
Some of these maps are non-canonical, so beware. :)

Quite a few maps.  Reminds me of a book I have of Middle Earth Maps I got quite a while back.   Neat to look at them at times.  Though like the online maps I'm not sure how cannon each map is.

I think that these maps (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/maps.html) should be considered canonical. They don't show anything that wasn't in Tolkien's own writings and maps, but they show everything else. That's why I think these are the best maps. All the places mentioned in the Hobbit/LOTR are present here.
