General Map of Middle-earth is the original, unnamed[note 1] map of the Westlands that Christopher Tolkien made in late 1953 for the first edition of The Lord of the Rings.[1][2]
This was the base for Christopher Tolkien’s redrawing, The West of Middle-earth at the End of the Third Age that first appeared in the Unfinished Tales. Since 2005, the new map replaced the "General Map" in the HarperCollins editions of The Lord of the Rings.
Mistakes
The Misty Mountains were mispelled as "Hithaiglin" in the original map, which was corrected to "Hithaeglir" in more recent maps.
