Check out the 12/25 Bonus Overland Map posted on WoTC's Map-A-Week page:

here
Although the brief text does not say either way, this blank map is dead on as a depiction of the County of Sunndi, the Rieuwood, the Vast Swamp et al.

Very cool...but what gives

Hmm, this is strange. Perhaps Erik has been slowly sowing seeds of dissent amongst the WotC crowd and those seeds have begun sprouting budding new GH-o-files in the ranks! :D

It's the overland map that in the booklet that is included in the boxed set, "Return to the Tomb of Horrors" is what it looks like to me. The adventure starts in Kalstrand, goes through the Glorioles, and on down to the Vast Swamp. I got to play it with a character. I had a blast...

And isn't this the entrance to the Tomb of Horrors, as seen in RttToH?

Maybe whoever makes the maps got lazy and simply scanned a few old ones?

You'd be surprised just how many of the maps WotC has already posted in the past are from previously published products. I own far too many, and have seen a fair quantity of maps from things I already own.:whatsthis

A more charitable perspective would be that WotC is digging into their library of previously published maps and now is making them free for all to download.

It is really a minimal effort to take the digital file of the map that went into the product and resize it and convert the format into something the public could use.

Didn't you always think Idee had more plains than are represented here? I never (before) pictured the mountains coming down almost to the coast of Idee.
