Tolkien is probably the only person that could help in this, unless further 'conjectural' mapping was done independantly. Unless other maps that are adaptable do exist, C. Hmmm, it would indeed be interesting if we could indeed come up with a mapped greater Middle-Earth than the one we've got now. You can find quite a few interesting maps on the net, although, as I said, nearly all of these show JRRT's world in it's early conceptual state. You can see that the coast come in not too far North of Angband I think this probably holds true for much of that missed from the North of Middle-Earth, so that while it's a shame we aren't acutally missing too much. hmm, slightly exagerated drawing of Thangorodrim though, but gives a damn good idea of what it was meant to look like. By the look of it it might well be authentic. It is true, not much more effort would have been needed to draw it in. Angband (originally an outlier of Utumno, which you mentioned, although the lands in that region appear to have warped and changed after the War of the Powers) is pretty well described a map isn't really needed, although the fact that it is positioned about a millimetre above the map given in the Silm is slightly irritating. The regions are adequately described, though - which would in fact make it apparently easy to draw a map about, really - although not much of importance was ever really there.Īpart from Angband, of course. You are right, though - the northern coastlines of Middle-Earth are something I have always vaguely wondered about. Actually, there were maps of this region drawn by Tolkien himself however, the ones I have seen are all very rudimentary and in most cases from an early stage of development.
