Do you mean a general map of Wilderland, with all the places Bilbo went to, or a step-by-step series of maps, charting his entire adventure? If the latter, I reccomend Karen Wynn Fonstad's Atlas of Middle-earth (Revised Edition or don't bother). If the former, I wonder why you don't have a map in your copy of the Hobbit. But a superb illustrative map by (I believe) J. R. R. Tolkien can be found by clicking here (http://fan.theonering.net/rolozo/images/tolkien/map-there_and_back.jpg).

Welcome to Entmoot! I hope you enjoy a fine stay, however long.



Edited: LOL Anduin! Looks like we use the same source.

The lordoftherings.com is a great site. However, sometimes it doesn't want to load...

Can anyone please direct me to a good map site. Looking for a map of ME before Beleriand was destroyed.
I know there is one somewhere but unfortunately I lost the link.

I know there is one somewhere but unfortunately I lost the link. I don't know which edition of the Sil you have, but in the first edition (Houghton Mifflin), there are two maps of Beleriand. One is in the middle of the book, and the other is attached to the back cover and folds out. It is huge. I've noticed in later editions that the fold out map is no longer in the Silmarillion. Pity.

I used to own the first edition, but since I did not fancy it very much (by that time) it was given away for some second-hand collection. Can you imagine!

The book I am using right now is a 1999 edition Harper Collins paperback, and there is just one small map. So I am looking for that map, which I have seen on the Web before.

This book contains an excerpt from one of the Letters (to Milton Waldman 1951) which I haven´t seen before, haven´t read the Letters. Pretty cool. I don´t know how long the Sil has been published with this excerpt.

This is the maps section of Rolozo Tolkien (http://fan.theonering.net/rolozo/images.php?collection=maps).

And a beautiful sight it is!

I wonder why Amon Ethir does not appear on any of the maps of Beleriand.

Perhaps since it was artificial it was not very big, and thus does not show on large scale maps?
