Central Plateau, 0.5 miles per hex (1981)

This map shows the Isle of Dread’s Central Plateau as it existed in 1981, including all available details from X1 The Isle of Dread’s other maps and text.

It shares the same scale problem as the larger isle, and I have found that a reinterpretation from the listed 1 mile per hex to a smaller 0.5 miles per hex solves problems of consistency between the two maps.

Chronological Map (May 2021)

This map is part of the Mystara 1981 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 1981.

For more information, see Appendix C: Cartographic Chronology.
