Western OZ - Commissioned Map

September 10, 2015 by Christian Stiehl

New stories about Dorothy, Toto, and the wonderful land of OZ are what led to the creation of this map, commissioned by an author for his upcoming book. He has in mind unique and fascinating places not seen before in the published works of L. Frank Baum. This may be why the lands you see in this map won't fit right into any other maps of OZ you might come across. Or perhaps OZ has been changing over the decades. I like to think that the places you see above just slip right in between the existing, canonical regions we know so well.
