Can anyone tell me where I could find a decent map of Middle Earth online?

I’ve found an old ‘Make Your Own Mouse-Pad’ kit living in the bottom of my cupboard, and I figured I’d use it before the printer that it’s designed for finally breaks down and goes where all good printers go when they die. (It’s well on the way out. Bought the tickets and all)

Just about the only thing I can think of that I’d like to have on the mouse-pad would be said M.E. map. However none of the maps I can find are very good - or don’t turn out well when they are printed (can’t read the labels and such).

I only have B/W cartridged for this printer so it’ll have to be a greyscale print. But it doesn’t really matter whether the picture is colour or whatever, I can just ‘greyscale’ effect it.

Cheers all. 🙂 And MERRY CHRISTMAS in case I don’t get a chance to come back online in time!

Just a quick (and wise-ass) question, though.

How do you have a “good” map of a fictional place?
