I read Perdido Street Station by China Miéville as an E-book. The New Crobuzon map available online is a scan of the map published in the book. While the map in the book is decent the scans are bad. Following the map -to me- was essential to immerse myself in the story as you follow the whereabouts of different characters, their interactions and paths crisscrossing the big city.

For this reason I took it upon myself to create a Hi-Def map of New Crobuzon using the original with the best approximation that I can achieve for the streets and allyways. I hope I did a good job.

I'm presenting this to the community as a beta version. Please scrutinze it and let me know if I misspelled any names or location.

I consulted with a cartographer to ensure that my map is up to the highest standards.

I intend to release a Dark mode version as well when I release v1.0.

Please send your suggestions and corrections.

Also included is the original scan from the book available ubiqiutously online.

I have no relation to the author and I did not do this expecting any compensation or anything in return. It is only to enrich this community and motivated by my love for these books.

P.S: I should mention that this post also exists on Reddit linking to the same dropbox public directory. Here is the link in subreddit Fantasy.

Thank you Traveller, I appreciate that. I wasn't sure which threads are more appropriate for this so General was the safest. Thank you in advance for sharing it.
