Map of the shire
The map of "A Part of the Shire" unveils a rich tapestry of Middle-earth beyond mere plot essentials, marking twenty-one towns and villages, and hinting at five more Shire locations plus Bree through arrows.
It details the full paths of the Stock-brook, Thistle Brook, Shirebourn River, segments of The Water, Withywindle, Brandywine, and a stream leading to Bywater Pool. The expansive Woody End, portions of Bindbole Wood, and the Old Forest are depicted, enhancing the geographical context.
Villages are represented as small black squares and rectangles, suggesting their size but not precise layouts. Tolkien's correspondence highlighted the map's limitation to about 30 place names, hinting at a much richer geography in his vision, though a comprehensive map of the Shire remains unpublished.
