A clearer map of Skyrim

After seeing the "Behind the Scenes" Bethesda video, I wanted to have a cleaner version of the map hanging on the wall, but I haven't been able to find one anywhere. So I decided to try and make one myself.

This was drawn using a blurry photo of a wall-hanging as a reference, which you can find here: http://i51.tinypic.com/6jhblv.jpg As a result, some details are probably incorrect. I tried to make it as accurate as I could, but I am no professional cartographer.

I've listed all the "supposed" major cities and 8 divided areas in Skyrim. All of these names are just what from what I could make out from the photo, and from other speculation around the net. So, there is absolutely no guarantee that it's accurate at all. I also have a clean version of the map in case anyone wants to use it.

cool, the general shape and locations doesnt seem as iconic as cyrodill, but maybe when we play it, it will feel more memorable.

Markarth is in the wrong place on your map.

no it isn't, bro. it's in the same place in his map as it is in the one you posted - on the west edge of the Reach.

Oh, it was apparently in the wrong place originally. I've edited the map to fix the error, though there are probably plenty more. As I said, all the locations are just from guesswork and from blurry screenshots of the behind-the-scenes video.
