Savage Coast, 22.9 miles per hex (1987)
The original map of the Savage Coast, updated from the 1985 version to incorporate Dungeon 6-7’s Great Northway Lands, with everything in Gazetteer-style hex art and fonts. The main additions were to the river systems in the northwest of the map, from the Shady River northwards, as well as the Richland Trading Post.
Nothing more would happen with this region for the next few years, until Bruce Heard started to explore it in great detail in his Voyage of the Princess Ark series in mid-1991.
Note: this map follows the original’s 22.9 mile per hex scale. For a redrawn 24 mile per hex version, see Savage Coast, 24 miles per hex (1987).
Chronological Map (March 2022)
This map is part of the Mystara 1987 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 1987.
For more information, see Appendix C: Cartographic Chronology.

Revisions
For detailed notes, see the posts for each individual source map at the links above.
- Hex Art & Fonts — Updated to 1987 standards.
- Rivers — All of the rivers north of the Shady River were expanded in Dungeon 6. I have used the X9 rivers where possible, connecting them to their Dungeon 6 versions at the overlap point, because Dungeon 6’s rivers were slightly displaced.
- Terrain — The expanded rivers of the Yazak Steppes area had forests along their shores in Dungeon 6. These have been added to the map. On the other hand, Dungeon 6 missed out various details from 1985, such as the hills northwest of Richland. This happened because they were only shown on the non-hex map in X9, so it’s an omission rather than a deliberate deletion.
