## About this map

The journeys and wars of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings on an ink map of Middle-earth, after Tolkien's books (not the films): Thorin and Company and the Battle of Five Armies (2941), the long years in between, then the Fellowship of the Ring, the War of the Ring in Rohan, Gondor, Mordor and the North, the Scouring of the Shire, and the Ring-bearers sailing West from the Grey Havens (3021). Every company and army slides along its route between the dated stops of Appendix B (The Tale of Years) and the chapters; the realms are a pale wash. Dates are Shire Reckoning as Tolkien prints them; in-between days are reconstructed. Sources: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, Unfinished Tales; Tolkien Gateway; the LotR Project timeline. A non-commercial fan map: Middle-earth © The Tolkien Estate; map data ME-GIS (ME-DEM project).
