The West of Middle-earth at the End of the Third Age is the title of a map depicting Northwestern Middle-earth during the War of the Ring. The map is reproduced in the Unfinished Tales and since 2005 in the HarperCollins editions of The Lord of the Rings.[1]
The map is a re-drawing by Christopher Tolkien of his original, unnamed "General Map of Middle-earth"[note 1] made in late 1953 for the first edition of The Lord of the Rings.[1][2][3]
Smaller in scope than the original, this map excluded locations such as the Northern Waste in the north, or Umbar and Far Harad in the south.
