X11 Lothenar Forest, 4 miles per hex
This has to be the most lacklustre “map” in the whole publication history of Mystara. What else is there to say, really?

Chronological Analysis
This is Map 51. It was published in August 1986. The updated version of this map has not yet been released. See also Appendix C for annual chronological snapshots of the area. For the full context of this map in Mystara’s publication history, see Let’s Map Mystara 1986.
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.
Additions
- Terrain — The Lothenar Forest is forest. (Wait, is this an addition?!)
- Trails & Roads — A simple trail leads through the forest.
Hex Art & Fonts
- Fonts — Baskerville.
- New Symbols — None. The legend looks positively lonely in its stark emptiness.
