Geffron Forest, 4 miles per hex (1986)

X11’s Geffron map was marked as being 6 miles per hex, but matching it up with the 24 mile per hex map using the Shrine of Enoreth as a point of reference does not work as it should. To solve this problem, I have reinterpreted the scale to 4 miles per hex, matching the scale used in the other forest detail map from X11, Lothenar Forest at 4 miles per hex.

The end result is this map. I have expanded it slightly so that it now shows Geron’s location and the edge of the plateau in the west, making the map’s position in the larger scheme of things much clearer.

Chronological Map (February 2022)

This map is part of the Mystara 1986 series of chronological maps. It is an updated map, incorporating all available sources and made internally consistent with other maps in its series. But it only uses sources published in or before 1986.

For more information, see Appendix C: Cartographic Chronology.

• Scale — The original scale was 6 miles per hex. It has been reinterpreted to 4 miles per hex to avoid conflicts in the western part of the map.
