All We Need Are a Few Good Maps

I'm almost to the point of thinking ... don't draw more map than you need.  Draw map for where you want the PCs to go.  If there is a location on a map, they will want to go there.  No matter how annoying and irrelevant the reason.

 

When I was given a copy of The Silmarillion when it first came out, and realized that everything that happened in Tolkien's First Age occurred in places that were literally sunk below the surface of the ocean before the Second Age started, I could only admire his brilliance.  You couldn't go back and loot the ruin of Nargothrond (which PCs would absolutely want to do) because it no longer existed.  That is how to do it correctly.
