-You should always be aware of your surroundings when flying spaceships. Whether you're scouting for your fleet, reading the intel channel or just plain lost, it helps to have a map handy for a quick reference. Dotlan has a decent map that includes Wicked Creek, Scalding Pass, Insmother & Detroid http://evemaps.dotlan.net/special/Detorid-Insmother-Scalding_Pass-Wicked_Creek.pdf but it doesn't print very well at all. You'll have to keep it open in your browser at all times if you want to use that thing.

Dotlan has a few [[http://evemaps.dotlan.net/special/Tribute-Vale-Venal.pdf|combination maps]] for sections of northern null but none are extensive as this and they are not printer-friendly.
-If you've got an empty 3.5' by 2' space on your wall near your computer you may as well throw a map up there. This printable map has been formatted to accommodate the standard 8.5" x 11" page size of most printers. The colors are calibrated for CMYK laser printers, though it should look fine if you're using an inkjet printer. The spacing between systems is done in a way that is conducive to writing notes and adding lines for jump bridges. The relative position between systems more accurately reflects the actual position of the system in space, so you'll have a better idea of how far another system really is when you're dealing with capital jump ranges.

-===== The File =====
+Several features are included to make life easier for the user:
+  * Citadel marking -- The 3 outlines above each system can be penciled in to signify that a M, L or XL citadel is present. These marks can be erased if the citadel is destroyed.
+  * Truesec -- Each system is shaded from white to deep purple to illustrate its truesec.
+  * White Space -- There is plenty of space between systems for writing notes or drawing jump bridge connections.
+  * Route highlighting -- arterial gate connections that are used to move between regions are more prominent than indirect connections.
+  * Positioning -- Each system's placement loosely reflects its actual position in space relative to surrounding systems, making it more obvious which system's you'll passing through when moving capitals.

-==== Usage ====
-The .pdf is 18 pages long, but only pages 1-9 are needed to map out all of Wicked Creek and most of its surrounding regions. Pages 10-13 add the rest of those regions as well as Tenerifis & Catch. Page 14 & 15 add Providence & the rest of Catch. Pages 16-18 add Omist, Feythabolis & Impass.
+=== 17" x 22" Pages ===
+{{:eve:maps:the_north_large_1.01.pdf?direct|FILE}}
-  -In your printer settings, set the quality as high as possible.
+=== Full Map ===
-  -Ensure that "fit to page" is selected.
+{{:eve:maps:the_north_single_1.01.pdf?direct|FILE}}
-  -In the "pages" or "print range" field, enter the extent you want your map to go to. 1-9 is recommended.
-  -Ensure that "Auto portrait/landscape" is selected. If no such option exists then you'll have to orient them manually as you go through the process.
-Keep the pages in an orderly stack. Your printer will have created white bars all around each page of the map since it can't print all the way to the edge, so you may want to cut those in a way that allows you to overlap each page so the gates & borders line up. It sucks if you don't have a paper chopper, but you should only have to do this once.
+==== Usage ====
-Tape/glue/staple the pages together as shown and throw that shit on your wall as shown.
+The .pdf is 24 pages long, but only pages 1-10 are needed to map out all of Vale of the Silent and most of its surrounding regions. Pages 11-14 add Fade, Pure Blind, southern Deklein and the remainder of Tribute. Pages 15-24 add Venal, Tenal, Branch and the rest of Deklein.

-Are you using the latest version? It'll be easier to make notes on your map with a pen than to re-print the whole thing.
