[2] The rest of the book has small essays functioning as overviews of the Lancre, a mountain country at the Ramtops known as a hub of Witches and drawn in a vertigo-inducing perspective shot, rather than as a relief diagram.

[2][3] A large portion of the book is written by the experienced fictional hillwalker Eric Wheelbrace in a section called "Lancre Gateway to the Ramtops".

The four extremities of the map feature Verence II's coat of arms and drawings of Nancy Ogg, Granny Weatherwax, the Queen of the Elves, and Herne the Hunted.

[3] The scholar Anne Hiebert Alton praised the book, writing, "The Lancre map provides an excellent sense of the sheer verticality of the Kingdom".

She liked that it showcases "a better awareness than the novels do of the distance between Granny's cottage and Nanny's house in town" and said that the map "reinforces the idea of the geographic space of the Discworld".
