      The Journeys of Frodo is also worth a look if you like this kind of thing. The author isn’t a professional cartographer and it’s more focused on LOTR locations than general world building. Anyway, I was completely captivated by it as a child when I stumbled across it in my high school’s library.

      I'm currently re-reading LOTR and I'm reading it in conjunction with Journeys of Frodo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journeys_of_Frodo - highly recommended if you like this sort of thing!
