TM1 & TM2 Western and Eastern Countries, 8 miles per hex
This is a combined replica of the trail maps, TM1 and TM2. Aside from a few minor tweaks in the overlapping area in the centre, both maps appear exactly as they did in printed form. No other corrections or updates have been made to the original maps.

Map Types
The Atlas of Mystara includes a few fundamentally different types of maps. The colour of the castle wall border on each map shows which category it belongs to.
- Replica maps (white castle border) are exact replicas of primary source maps. They present the world of Mystara as the original source materials depict it, warts and all. No attempt has been made to fix errors of any kind — even typos. As far as possible, replica maps use the same art as the original maps, though in many cases they are colourised. These maps are the main source material of the Atlas of Mystara, forming the base of all of the updated maps.
- Updated maps (green castle border) present the Atlas of Mystara’s consistent view of the world, with all errors, alignment issues, and so on fixed. They use standardised hex art and fonts. Anything not marked as a replica map is an updated map.
- Chronological maps (yellow castle border) provide snapshots of Mystara at the end of a certain year in its publication history. In effect, they are updated maps created from a limited list of sources. The years in question appear in the title of each map.
- Fan-made maps are unofficial maps created by other fan cartographers. As such, they do not follow the Atlas’s castle border colour scheme. The Atlas presents these maps in their original form, with the permission of the cartographers. The Atlas considers these maps secondary sources, and updated maps of areas not covered by official maps make extensive use of them. In a few cases, the Atlas also presents Replica fan-made maps (red castle border).

Thanks for the links, Robin!
I agree that’s a truly wonderful map. In fact I already posted about it earlier in the year at The Piazza. But more importantly, the cartographer posted an update: https://www.reddit.com/r/mapmaking/comments/87blpu/update_grand_duchy_of_karameikos/

This map is incredible. I’m just getting into Mystara (I was about five when it was unofficially discontinued) and this is gorgeous and supremely useful.
I’m also pretty sure I’ve never seen such a large PNG before. My computer hiccupped a little loading it, and it’s no slouch as far as specs go. This doesn’t detract from the map, I just mention it because it amused me.
Thanks for the great work!

Hi Matt! Glad you like the map — the Trail Maps must be the favourite of many a Mystara fan. I myself had them up on the wall during my university days, when I had a wall big enough to fit them. Alas, I’ve never had a big enough wall since then.
The latest release of maps here at the Atlas is all done at 300 DPI high resolution, which explains the large file sizes. Before I created this new site, most releases were much lower resolution, and therefore much smaller files. The extra resolution is perhaps a bit over the top, but it’s great for printing.

Love the maps, would also love the weather and other info along the side and bottom.

I decided against reproducing the tables. Of course I agree it would make the maps more complete — I always loved all those atlas-style additions to the maps. But it seems like a step too far in terms of reproducing copyrighted material, as I’d be reproducing the whole product in its entirety, and I’d rather avoid that risk.

I tried to open/download the link and got the following error: The image “https://mystara.thorfmaps.com/maps/tm1-tm2-western-and-eastern-countries-8.png” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Hi Michael,
I just checked the file, and it worked for me — but only if I right clicked and chose “Save Link As…”. Loading the image in the browser caused it to only partially display. It’s a rather huge file, so I highly recommend downloading it and viewing it using whatever image software you have on your desktop. It should work okay that way.
Let me know if you still have problems getting the file.

Greetings. I forgot to check the Notify box.
I was using my tablet and didn’t have the option to do so, however I was able to using my desktop computer. Than you and happy holidays. 🙂

Aha! I had forgotten about mobile users. I guess I should add a warning about that when posting large files, because the chance that they will not load on mobile devices is pretty high.
