MIDDLE-EARTH TIMELINE
The Middle-earth Atlas at atlas.bag-end.eu is an interactive map of Middle-earth with the journeys of the characters drawn on it, a timeline of the history of Arda from the Years of the Trees to the Fourth Age, and a gazetteer of places with their dates and references to Tolkien Gateway. A chapter explorer shows where everyone is in each of the sixty-two chapters of The Lord of the Rings.
It is a new project, launched in September 2026 on GitHub without a named author, open source with its data published as JSON. Its makers are honest about its limits: the map is schematic and distances are estimates. We used it to cross-check our own Walk to Mordor route.
An interactive map of Middle-earth with the characters' journeys, a timeline and a gazetteer, published as open data.
