Early Blackmoor Maps of First Fantasy Campaign Maps

[peelseel2]

Anyone know of good scans of the JG First Fantasy Campaign map or a good true recreation of it?  Did Rob Conly ever make a good re-creation of it?

It looks like there are several different outdoor maps of Blackmoor.  One being an 'original' with Blackmoor being on a lake, the other being with Blackmoor on The Dark Sea.  Just getting into Blackmoor.  The Lost Dungeons of Tonisborg have instigated my interest.

Is there a Blackmoor map with Tonnisborg on it?  I found the FFC map with Tonnsborg, but I do not think that is right?

Any elucidation of resources is appreciated!

?? Mr. Conley does great work but he is not involved with Blackmoor.

Both Arneson and Greg Svenson have said that Tonnisborg was the original name for Vestfold, or that it was in the same area - its a little foggy. A Greg-approved option that Havard choose for his map of Vestforld on the Comeback Inn site was to have Tonnisborg be on an island in the Barleycorn river next to Vestfold on the shore. However in a free verse poem written in the 1990's Arneson provided the earliest location clues and placed Tonnisborg in the vicinity of the Black Hills to the SE of Bramwald. When I did the Greyhawk Blackmoor map I followed the latter location.

I did back in the day. But then I lost it except for a photocopy I made of one section.

The blog post

The photocopy. It looks dirty because it was colored similar to my handdrawn wilderlands maps. The big innovation for me for this map was using a labeler to print out transparent labels that I could apply to the map.
