Thibault’s Minaea West, 24 miles per hex
As with his Esterhold, 24 miles per hex map, Thibault worked up the base terrain for this area in December 2000. Indeed, the two maps clearly fit together, as does the adjacent Minaea Central & East map, also from the same period.
The initial release of this one seems to have been March 2001, with a revised palette version appearing later in December 2001. Another map presenting just the southern part of these maps added rivers in April 2002, and at the same time Thibault incorporated all of it into his Mystara, 24 miles per hex map — with added rivers.
This was of course the first time for this area to appear at this scale on any map, and Thibault brought his trademark terrain detailing to bear on it as usual.
