I think I went through about three of them before I was able to reconcile the rough shape with what I understood to be the migration and weather patterns, extrapolated distances, and the like. Using it as a rough outline, taking into account and weighing the similarities versus the differences with our own world, I started to work on my own rough outline. Fenlon replies, I had access to a photocopy of a sketch map from a guy from Oxford that later appeared in The Shaping of Middle-earth that was a pretty important thing to have. Fenlon Describes the Making of this MapIn Mapping Middle-Earth: An Interview with Pete Fenlon, published in the January 1996 Issue 12 of the Middle-Earth fanzine Other Hands, Chris Seeman questions Felon on the making of this map and his sources (pages 37 - 40). Although the map has no scale, we extrapolated a scale of 1:19000000 based on Tolkien's statement that Mirkwood was 300 miles wide. Nonetheless, this map proved popular in the 1980s and was distributed to complement Iron Crown Enterprises successful LOTR-based role-playing game series. Although Tolkien's Legendarium does in fact give some hints regarding the lands and topography to the east of Mordor and Rhûn, much of the cartography here seems to have been imagined by Fenlon. Cartographically, Endor roughly mirrors Europe (Westlands), Africa (Haradwraith), and Asia (east of Rhûn). Unlike the maps published in Tolkien's famous books, the present map extends south and west to embrace the entire continent of Endor. The cartography for these areas, from Forodwaith to Umbar and from the western ocean (Belegaer) to the Sea of Rhûn, is drawn directly from the iconic map that accompanied the The Lord of the Rings. Fans of Tolkien will be quick to recognize the northeastern part of the map, generally known as the Westlands, encompassing the main theater of both the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.
