Why is the Silmarillion map incomplete? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I realize it could be because Tolkein didn't supply enough descriptions of the northern lands to enable them to be transmit into a map. But then again it doesn't strike me that Angband or Utumno is given any more descriptions as to its location than say Nogrod, Gondolin, Doriath, etc which are in the map. Is it due to this?
