Tim’s Northern Reaches, 8 miles per hex
For an introduction to Tim’s hex maps, see the post for his Known World, 24 miles per hex map.
The Northern Reaches is definitely one of Tim’s more detailed maps. Whereas he tended to concentrate on the main settlements in other maps, in this one he included parts of the sea outside the borders — with a rare sea label, no less — as well as fine detailing on the cliffs as well as the fjords. In fact, with the latter he even took things a step further than the original GAZ7 map, adding in a couple of extra cliffs on the edges of the fjords. You can see these south of Helega on the Landersfjord, as well as west of Norrvik on the Vestfjord.
It may not sound like much, but new details are actually quite rare on Tim’s maps. Perhaps he had a similar desire to stick to the original maps as can be seen in my own Atlas of Mystara maps!
Fan-made Map by Tim Roberts (c. July 2001)
This is an original map created by one of Mystara’s excellent fan cartographers. For more information on the cartographer, including a gallery of all their maps, see also Appendix M: Mappers of Mystara.
The Atlas has been unable to contact the original cartographer. This map therefore appears here without explicit permission from its creator. Any information on how to get in touch with them would be most welcome.

Chronological Analysis
This is a fan-made map. It was likely published in July 2001. The updated Atlas version of this map is not yet available. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see the upcoming Let’s Map Mystara 2001. (Please note that it may be some time before the project reaches this point.)
The following lists are from the Let’s Map Mystara project. Additions are new features, introduced in this map. Revisions are changes to previously-introduced features. Hex Art & Fonts track design elements. Finally, Textual Additions are potential features found in the related text. In most cases, the Atlas adopts these textual additions into updated and chronological maps.
Under Construction! Please check back again soon for updates.
