As related previously, I’ve been planning to update my older Atlas of Ice and Fire maps focusing on Westeros and Essos, which are looking a bit low-res and long in the tooth ese days. To start with, I’ve been creating a new map of the entire known world. Although lots of work remains to be done on that, I have (more or less) completed the portion containing Westeros, which is now available to view below.
There is some work still to be done. I need to clean up some of the name placements. I also still need to find a better way of depicting mountains and especially hills, which I realised a bit late in the day on this map look more like valleys or canyons.
Still, this is a vast improvement over my old maps and work continues to improve the material.
Thank you for reading The Atlas of Ice and Fire. To help me provide better content, please consider contributing to my Patreon page and other funding methods, which will also get you exclusive content before it goes live on my blogs.

Pretty good! Just noticed two things on it-
1. There are a few lakes north of the Haunted Forest missing on it (I remember that from the Storm of Swords Beyond-the-Wall map.
2. The huge area in the Land of Always Winter is pretty neat. I think Martin said that the area beyond the Wall was huge – the size of Canada or something like that.

The Twins are west of the Kingsroad. Robb needed to secure the Twins to send his cavalry west of the Green Fork to reach Riverrun. The infantry (under Roose Bolton) didn’t need to cross the Twins to go south to fight Tywin’s army.

Would it be possible to get this image in a vector or eps format? I want to take it to a printer and get it printed up at maybe 6ft by 4ft size to then model out the landscape in foam…

You have put Wendish Town in wrong place. It was raided in that very first run of Clegane and his men that kickstarted the war. It must be near Sherer and Mummer’s ford who were also raided during that same expedition and definitely not north of Riverrun since riverlords mobilized and kept guard on the rivers.

That was my thought, but the only canon or even semicanon map we have with Wendish Town on it – the HBO map of Westeros – places Wendish Town at that location. The logic is that it is located close to the “peninsula” of Lannister territory extending along the coast north of Riverrun (as revealed in The World of Ice and Fire), so the Lannisters would be able to raid it easily from their soil.
