    I don't have a map on hand, but I can name some important trade routes: The Correllian run, the Perlemian trade Route and the hydian Way.
    Locations I can remember off the top of my head are the Tion Hegemony, the Corporate Sector and the Stenness Node.

    Tis inevitable that Carty and Clighal will respond to this thread.

    Ceiran, I hope you're aware of WOTC's Galactic Gazetteer which has an awesome map of Yarith, Anoat, and Javin Sectors.

    Sue Rostoni said a while back in VIP Thread at TOS that there might be a map of the Unknown Regions in TUQ or the New Essential Chronology. Since it wasn't in TUQ we might still get it in the New Essential Chronology.

    Here's what I got from my notes, which cover galaxy, region, route and sector maps -- but not system maps.

    This is missing some old, superceded maps -- I've updated notes as I've gone to reflect the best maps, so if something's not listed that should (fingers crossed) mean everything on it is contained in a more-recent/better source.

    Anyway....

    Adventure Journal #8 -- Gree Enclave
    Coruscant and the Core Worlds -- Core Worlds placements
    Darkstrider -- Kathol sector map
    Dungeon #98 -- placement of Suarbi
    The Far Orbit Project -- Ringali Shell map
    Flashpoint: Brak Sector -- sector map
    Gamer #9 -- Moddell sector map
    The Kathol Outback -- sector map
    The Kathol Rift -- sector map
    Lords of the Expanse -- sector map, trade route maps
    Rebellion videogame -- some usable placements of sectors within galaxy, some don't make sense
    Secrets of the Sisar Run -- Hutt Space map, has some errors
    The Star Wars Planets Collection -- Elrood sector map
    Twin Stars of Kira -- trade route map
    Ultimate Visual Guide -- Shadda-Bi-Boran placement
    Wizards Web Site -- Hoth area map

    My notes say there are unique map placements in these NJO books:
    Vector Prime
    Dark Journey
    Destiny's Way
    The Unifying Force

    In terms of overall galaxy maps, the best one is the about-to-arrive New Essential Chronology; according to my notes, the two Fact Files maps have placements not reflected on that one. All the other galaxy maps -- again, according to my notes -- have been superceded and can be ignored in favor of what's on those three.

    Hope that helps!
