My latest offering which is destined for my Gallery. I kind of drew across the Baynes map from my circa 50-year-old paperback but there's one or two additions, viz the width of the river at the bottom of the map and the actual route Shasta and Aravis took before getting back on the direct route via the narrow gorge to get to Archenland and thence to Narnia.

Lovely map - love the Lion. Helen, I wonder if you would consider renumbering things, so it is in the order of Shasta's flight from Tashbaan to Anvard. So Tashbaan would be 1, and Mt Piri 10. Otherwise, I think you chose the perfect style for the map. And that was my favourite Narnian book, too.
I love it! Where did you get the Aslan symbol? Is it part of ProFantasy's assets, or something you brought in separately?
It has been the easiest Narnian map that I've done @Quenten . Two of the ones to come are going to be right pigs though - I'm using the full page illustration showing the figurative separation of the sheep and goats in the last moments of Narnia, though sans animals, for The Last Battle before Peter closes the great door. The other is an imagining of the Walled Garden The Magician's Nephew where Digory is sent to pick the apple.
@Royal Scribe I found it online, the Baynes has those two cartoony illustrations but I can't replicate them so i looked for a lion head that was far removed from the head on the poster for one side and bunged the key on t’other.
Here is the FINAL map. I've added the Hermit of the Southern March's home - I had to go to the Audible book to check where to put it as Baynes had omitted it in her illustration.
@HelenAA do you have a collection of these maps? My childrens' school is having a Narnia club, and I want to give a presentation on maps. They might be nice to show. Thank you, and great work!
Not all of the books have actual maps, @KertDawg , only Prince Caspian, The Horse and His Boy and Silver Chair. My maps, though reasonably faithful to Baynes' originals, are different particularly in terms of the rivers.
