The Ambarkanta maps refer to a set of five maps and diagrams drawn by J.R.R. Tolkien and associated with his work "Ambarkanta: The Shape of the World" (a text attributed to Rúmil). The maps were reproduced in The Shaping of Middle-earth (1986), with their indvidual names being:[1]
- Diagram I: Arda and the surrounding airs and waters, from West to East
- Diagram II: Arda and the surrounding airs and waters, from North to South
- Diagram III: Arda after the Changing of the World
- Map IV: Arda after the fall of the Two Lamps and before the War for the Sake of the Elves
- Map V: Arda after the War for the Sake of the Elves and before the War of Wrath
In The Lost Road and Other Writings (1987), Christopher Tolkien provided additional, redrawn versions of the regions of the furthest North in Map V, in order to "enlarge and clarify..., adding letters to make references to it plainer."[2]
