Making Sense Of The World, One Map At A Time

If Frodo & Sam Had Google Maps Of Middle Earth

If Sam and Frodo had had this Google Map of Middle Earth, their journey would likely have been a lot easier than the one in the Lord of the Rings. Created by Mark Crosby the map has all sorts of wonderful additions.

For example:

• The estimated journey time is 6 months with Orcs or 4 months without.
• A warning that ‘This route has trolls.’
• There is an Eagle option (see my comments below)
• Instead of the Satellite view, there’s a Dragons view.
• Map data 3018, 3rd age

One thing that’s never made a whole lot of sense about the Lord of the Rings films to me is, if they had Eagles, why didn’t they just use them to fly straight to Mordor. I understand the books and films are supposed to be more about the journey, but you’d think if you’re looking to destroy the One Ring of Power, you’d want to do it as quickly and efficiently as possible.

However, after doing some research, it seems hardcore fans of the series dismiss the Eagle option as pure fantasy. They claim the flying Nazgûl would have easily killed them before they got to Mordor.

In any case, the map above is great no matter whether or not the route taken by Frodo and Sam was the most efficient or not.

Why would the Eagles help?

What’s in it for them?

Gavin W. says

June 23, 2017 at 10:07 pm

In the Silimaillion, it is explained that the Eagles were placed in Middle-earth by Manwë, one of the Valar (essentially gods), to live in the mountains north of Beleriand in order to keep watch over Morgoth. Morgoth was one of the Valar who had, through jealousy and hatred, become corrupted and was effectively the source of evil in Middle Earth. Sauron was essentially Morgoth’s lieutenant. So, in helping to destroy the ring, the Eagles were fulfilling a part of their purpose – ultimately, to bring about the destruction of Morgoth.

June 26, 2017 at 12:07 pm

That third word should read “Silmarillion”. Apologies for the typo.

Bibliofilen says

Gandalf or Elrond did ask the Eagles but they didn’t want to leave their territory.

Where is Thorin’s Hall etc.? http://dynmap.ruslotro.com/#Ered%20Luin

November 6, 2017 at 9:47 pm

Harlindon and Forlindon are the areas LOTRO call Ered Luin. During the Third Age, its forests, besides that of Mirkwood, were the largest in Middle-earth. In the latter part of the Third Age, the Dwarves settled the Blue Mountains again when Thráin II, his son Thorin Oakenshield and the Dwarven survivors of the Sack of Erebor moved from Dunland and delved a prosperous settlement there. After the War of the Ring and the defeat of Sauron, Elves continued to travel west to Lindon through the gap in the mountains by way of the Gulf of Lune, where they eventually intended to set sail on the Straight Road to the Undying Lands of Aman. After the War of the Ring it is said that many Dwarves from the east migrated back to their ancient homeland and Ered Luin was a prosperous kingdom once more.

Daniel Copeland says

Minor plot point left out of the movies because it would have been fiddly, but which would have forestalled all this Eagle Taxi Service nonsense: Eagles cannot, in fact, carry humans (or even hobbits) all that far. The eagle that rescued Gandalf from Orthanc dropped him off in nearby Rohan, where he borrowed a horse to get to distant Rivendell. In the books the eagles talk, and they have this conversation: GANDALF: How far can you bear me? EAGLE: Many leagues, but not to the ends of the earth.

Regarding the comment about why the Fellowship did not just fly on the Eagles to Mordor, that is exactly what Gandalf advises when he said “Fly, you fools!”|. Unfortunately the party was too distracted by orcs, the Balrog and seeing Gandalf fall in Moria to remember his advice the next day.

Dol Miroth says

Yes it’s slightly incorrect^^ they didn’t took the Greenway before reaching Bree. And they came to Amon Sul from the north as Aragorn also avoided the street because of things. After the weathertop they crossed the street and where in the southern bushlands. Then got back on the street at the first bridge of the next river. I think mitheitel. 😀

Journeys of Frodo

• View history

Journeys of Frodo: An Atlas of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings by Barbara Strachey is an atlas based on Middle-earth , published in 1981 by HarperCollins .

Description [ ]

This book contains 51 maps , of various scales, based on the original The Lord of the Rings maps drawn by Christopher Tolkien from his father 's sketches. They are in landscape format, and depict physical features in black and contour lines for elevation in red. Routes taken by the Fellowship of the Ring on roads and paths are shown in black or red dashes; off-road routes are in red only. Arrows show the direction of travel, and dates and elapsed times (frequently provided in the books) are listed and told in red. Scales along the top and left of each map show the distance east/west and north/south from Bag End .

Each numbered map is accompanied by a description, in which the author describes the portion of the route indicated, often justifying her topographical decisions with quotes from the book. In some cases, Strachey points out discrepancies among the topographical descriptions, occasionally, for instance, altering the course of a road or a river on the grounds that it would otherwise be inconsistent with Tolkien's other descriptions of the terrain.

Christopher Tolkien refers to Journeys of Frodo a number of times in The History of The Lord of the Rings , often agreeing with Strachey's conclusions, but sometimes disagreeing.

His journey culminated on March 25 of TA 3019, when the One Ring was ultimately annihilated.
