I've got it. Unfinished Tales, Christopher Tolkien talking about the maps he drew with his father. Here's the quote and the page number in my edition; if you don't have the book, you'll have to listen to the quote.

'... and I have shown the little island of Himling far off the north-western coast, which appears on one of my father sketch maps and on my own first draft. Himling was the earlier form of Himring (the great hill on which Maedhros son of Feanor had his fortress in the Silmarillion), and although the fact is nowhere else referred to it is clear that Himring's top rose above the waters that covered drowned beleriand. Some way to the west of it was a larger island named Tol Fuin, which must be the highest part of Taur-nu-Fuin (Dorthonion).'
