Map from The Other Lands by David Anthony Durham
If you read A Dribble of Ink, chances are that you’re an entrenched Fantasy fan, yah? And, if you’re such a committed Fantasy fan, chances are that you love maps. I mean, don’t we all have a little Bilbo Baggins in all of us? I sure do. So, I pleased to run across a large collection of various Fantasy maps collected together on A Fantasy Reader, gathered together from across the ‘net.
Maps included among the many are:
Joe Abercrombie
- Styria (Best Served Cold)
- Valley of Osrung (The Heroes)
- Red Country (cover)
- Red Country (from the book)
Abraham, Daniel
Hobb, Robin
Jordan, Robert
Keyes, Greg
If you’re serious about maps, like I am, you’ll want to keep an eye on this Index of Fantasy Maps, which has been updated frequently since it first began in 2009. What are your favourite maps?

Hunh, if anything, the map list appears out of date.
It contains maps from King of Thorns, Mage’s Blood and The Emperor’s Knife, all of which are recent novels, suggesting that the list is being updated when appropriate. While it’s certainly not comprehensive, it’s also limited to being a collection of maps that have been previously distributed for free by the publishers/authors/fans of these novels.
Oh, my! I wish I could draw like that; I know what my fantasy geographies look like, but the results look more like 1st grade art class.
Awesome! As a kindle reader, this is something I have wanted (but haven’t look for).
Well, one of the links I tried came up not found, and the post does have a 2009 date. And the spammy comments made me wonder. Hmmm.

Val Gunn and Sullivan’s are probably my favourite from that list since they depart marginly from most of the continental Europe/England-based maps that permeate the genre. (The Grey Keyes map link doesn’t work btw :S)
I’ve got my own depository of fantasy maps here, too: http://www.woodge.com/books/fmaps.html
