1987: original published Realms geography, based on Ed Greenwood's hand-drawn maps, unchanged until 2001
[PF][/PF]
2001: geography distorted to fit more land area on third-edition Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting poster map, though distortion is less in central Faerûn; maps with Dragon #287–290 are blown up from that map
2008: geography changed in post-Spellplague Realms
2015?: fifth-edition maps to be based on scanned and vectorized 1987 maps (mentioned in the What is the Sundering? panel at Gen Con 2012)
