An explorable map, with its sources alongside

Overview

The islands form an illustrative map drawn out of scale. Their arrangement and distances are not official geography or real-world coordinates.

Game images remain the reference

“In the game” shows original documentation. “Aerial view” is an illustrated interpretation, not satellite photography or a new official map. Details may differ between editions.

Mountains to observe, not measure

Orbit the islands and change the tilt. Elevations are artistic and relative: the slider emphasizes them without indicating metres.

Sources and approach

Maps and scenes from the site archive; historical Lucasfilm Games documentation and Video Game History Foundation research. Monkey Island’s complete coastline includes an archival reconstruction from artwork not fully visible in the released game.
