1981 GDW Black Map of OTU?

[mechascorpio]

I was going through my boxes with decades of CT material, and came across a folded, 16x21 map of the OTU published by GDW in 1981. Note, this is not the map that came with Deluxe Traveller.

It illustrates 64 sectors, only a few areas labeled like Ley, Spinward Marches and Reft, the major powers with lots of red lines, and a few stars and nebula.

Can anyone tell me where this came from? Was it published alone or as part of a boxed product (Tarsus?)?

TIA for any info

This?

My local gaming store was giving them away as promo items, perhaps with a purchase or something. (It's been 30 years...) I ended up with a couple at any rate.

That's one of my inspirations for travellermap.com obviously.

That's the one, thank you much! I suspected it was a freebie as I couldn't find any reference to any boxed set having it.

(BTW, love your site, it's been invaluable for years. Just started using it on my Kindle Fire too! Had no idea you were in SF, I just left there after 15 years, sadly)

FWIW, I mocked up a version of this map for my Library Data site, stealing^k^k^k^k borrowing with permission from Joshua Bell's incredible interactive Traveller map:

Wow, stared at one of those on the wall of the old Dream Wizards I don't know how many times . . .
