The Wisconsin cartographer who mapped Tolkien's fantasy world

One of my biggest takeaways from the first time I saw her work was that Beleriand was actually situated to the west of Middle Earth prior to sinking. I had seen far too many erroneous maps placing it north of Middle Earth (https://static0.gamerantimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uplo...)

The infamous lung map! David Day must've introduced so many people to the various interesting aspects of Tolkien's world but there's so much fanfiction mixed into his works. Though in the case of the map it's not really fanfiction, it's just wrong.

In my ~35 years of being a Tolkien fan I've never actually seen this. Wow, so inacurrate.
