Stage by stage, these maps from Journeys of Frodo follow The Lord of the Rings in Barbara Strachey's 1981 atlas of Tolkien's story, published by Unwin. Strachey turned clues in the narrative and Tolkien's own cartography into a sequence of maps that begins around Hobbiton and the Brandywine, continues through Bree and Rivendell and reaches the mountain passes, river journeys and approaches to Mordor. The routes of the rest of the Fellowship run alongside Frodo's, bringing in Rohan, Gondor and the great battles, and local sheets enlarge places such as Weathertop, the gates of Moria and Shelob's lair. Separations, changes of route and reunions are all plotted in order.
