The boxy area in the northwest corner of the map was known as Hithlum. It was the kingdom of Fingolfin and his son Fingon during the First Age.
I also believe that the map has a bit of a gaffe on it because the Mountains of Mordor are shown. According to the Atlas of Middle Earth those mountains were submerged under the Inland Sea of Helcar until the breaking of Thangorodrim and the earth moving that accompanied that event.
Hmm, must find out the sources for the maps.
(Birdland, if you are into geography at all you'll love The Atlas. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )
