Not exactly the map most people are hoping to see, though 
Still it is quite nice:

I'm trying to find a similar one of the Dalelands

Slightly on topic:
Whatever happened to that map that someone made a long time ago of our server?
I used to have a copy, and then.. poof >_<

That's actually a really nice one, since the much larger maps that I've seen are soooo overwhelming.

Yeah, certainly the best I've seen.
I was looking for a map to help with geography in journal entries and I have found this to be very helpful. Even with in game stuff it is useful.

This is a good time, perhaps, to remind people of this:

More to come Red! I'd like to condense everything in to a clean post in the future.

Fair warning, I think that may be a 4th edition map.

Well, nothing official, but here's a statement from the site's main page:
"Note: All information pertains to the Realms prior to 1374 DR. Information from the various novels has NOT been included, nor have the changes detailed in the 4th Edition D&D."
Of course, this doesn't mean that the picture itself may not be from a 4E source and the author was unaware. My knowledge of official stuff is very limited.

Aside from the date in the map link (1479DR ), Castle Nacacia is the giveaway, since that definitely does not exist in 3rd Edition era Faerun.
That doesn't mean we couldn't incorporate some of the ruins or smaller hamlets as building ideas, though.

Some of the info (older ruins etc) is still accurate though.
