That's not a bad map. Well-rendered. However, the farther east one goes, the more pastiche trash accumulates. Robert E. Howard never typed the words "Sumero Tso", for instance. Never. Some distances are out of whack. Kuthchemes is way too far from the bend in the Styx. Kuthchemes was maybe 80m from said bend. Using relative distances, that looks more like 200+mi. The map out now from Modiphius Games is a lot more accurate. www.modiphius.net/products/conan-paper-map-bundle |

However the east looks like Dave Ripple's map in Blue Esat ? |

Ah, ok. The person is Dale Rippke.

It’s a very good looking map. Gives a suitably epic scale to the setting. I’ve seen maps where the area covered by the Black Kingdoms is smaller than the area covered by the Hyborian lands of the northwest.
The positioning of Sabatea is interesting. The Modiphius map has it somewhere in the Kharamun Desert southeast of Zamboula. As I don’t have my books handy, I hesitate to comment on which might be closer to the correct location.

If you want a fan-made map that incorporates Dale's elements--which elements are simply Dale using speculative maps of Pleistocene Asia--then Trent Thompson's map is far better than that one.

Here's a gallery of a few dozen maps I've collected.
I don't know the source of a few. Can anyone help?

Has Dynamite ever released an official Hyborian Age map? I'm curious as to just how much bigger the continent would be with all the Red Sonja exclusive states they've added to it.

This is more in line with real world ancient parallels with REH's HA conception. Roll this back about anther 10 to 20 thousand years perhaps to get a few steps closer to the HA?  |

Just thought I'd post this here for reference while I have the info at hand, since Deuce's old link seems to be down. Here's the Modiphius Hyborian Age map from a link on their own website:  Right click and choose the 'open image in new tab' option to see it in greater detail. This is one of the most accurate maps as it was put together with consultation from REH scholars with Modiphius seeking to be as close to the source material as possible. |

I found this.  Not the best, but it's the only pre/post-Conan (not counting Kull) map I've ever been able to find. Relating to my above post, I'm interested in and looking for maps for the Acheron and Aquilonian Empire periods, too. |

That one is from Giant-Size Conan #1. Here's a big digital version.  |
