(Deleted that the Great West Road or North-way ran on from Minas Tirith to Pelargir, because that road is called the South Road in the narrative and on a map drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien; added that map with the name North Road from Minas Tirith to Rohan)

Course

Two miles east from the Isen it bent sharply to the south-east to meet the Deeping-road and again bent to the east and Edoras.[5] It passed across Calenardhon/Rohan parallel to the White Mountains, the Folde, the Fenmarch and traversed the Firien Wood into Anórien. It ran around the Drúadan Forest and ran to the south into the Pelennor Fields, outside of Minas Anor.[6]
