UO Automap - Atlas
Explanation of the UOAM Atlas, by Magellan
Hail!

A while ago I realized that very few of the landmarks in UO actually had names. When I realized this, I thought, who better than cartographers to give names to everything? Thus, I set out to create an atlas of Britannia and the Lost Lands.

I did take quite a few artistic liberties, since so little information is available. Where there was a name from a previous Ultima game, I used it...but other than that, I had to use what I could come up with. So, I'm going to give an explanation of everything I think could use it.

Any suggestions to make this better? Do you have another name for something and want to suggest it? Is there somewhere I forgot to name? If so, drop me an email at [email protected].

For now, this is just an overland map. If I get enough requests, I suppose I could work on an update to include the dungeons and various points of interest in there, but not yet.

Many thanks to all those on the Stratics Cartography Forum who responded to my post and helped me out...and of course to Blackheath, for everything he's done to help.

This atlas is currently available through UOAutoMap's AutoUpdater program, to get the atlas, download UOAutoMap, located here.

Notes

  • "Official name" means I found it in a source about previous Ultima games or in a reference about UO.
  • In the case of many T2A locations, they were already named. I'm an explorer, not a linguist...I'm not exactly sure what any of the names mean, so I copied them as they were told to me. I can make neither heads nor tails of them, but perhaps someone out there can. I'm sure figuring out what "Teb" means would be a good start, because that seems to be a prevalent word.
