There be no such thing. At least officially anyway.

Maps of Neverwinter are outlawed.

Thanks for the offer, but nah, I really DON'T want to find a map of Neverwinter because then I can replace it with the city from Lost City of Barakus when I get it.

But thanks for the help. I was just wondering if there was one that was in say the grey box, a common 2e source. Since there is not, I am out scot free.

D'OH!

There's a giant map in the Neverwinter Nights PC game. I have it sitting right over there (points right over there--and there's the map).

Does that count?

You can't really use the NWN maps, because they were designed to be extremely simple. Neverwinter has very small, winding roads, and all of the buildings are close together. If the game designers had made Neverwinter accurately, 90% of players would be lost within a minute of leaving the temple of Tyr.

If you've ever been in a plane, flying over a large city, you can't help but notice that the city is designed in a pattern that isn't obvious from the street level. Washington DC, for example, is shaped in a pinwheel pattern (or is it a hexagon? I don't remember). Anyhoo, Neverwinter doesn't follow any such pattern. The city builders threw up the districts willy-nilly.

You can use the game if you want to use the places there. Almost all of the shops and taverns are canon, but the maps in the game are wrong.
