The Map of Rohan, Gondor, and Mordor[note 1] is an unnamed map reproduced in The Return of the King and in one-volume editions of The Lord of the Rings.[1]
The map was redrawn in 1988 by Shelly Shapiro, and then by Stephen Raw for the new editions of the Lord of the Rings since 1994.
Description
Unlike the other general or regional maps, this one was drawn like a topographic map, with the mountains depicted by detailed contour lines, representing elevation.
Its main feature is the White Mountains, surrounded by most of Gondor (as it was in the late Third Age), south-western Rohan, and (north-)western Mordor.
All in all, the map depicts most the regions where most of the action of The Return of the King takes place.
