Note:
Click on any map below to view information about that region. These maps are tailored for Pilgrim, Voyageur, and Stalker difficulty levels. I’m currently in the process of adding Interloper/Misery maps to any regions that have them.
General Tips:
Preparation: Always carry essential supplies: food, water, fire-starting tools, and a bedroll.
Navigation: Use landmarks and maps to avoid getting lost.
Weather: Monitor conditions; blizzards can be deadly.
Wildlife: Learn animal patterns; avoid unnecessary confrontations.
Crafting: Utilize forges and workbenches to maintain equipment.
About Cave & Mine Transitions
Most caves and mines in The Long Dark function as linear passageways between regions. They often contain:
Minimal loot (firewood, coal, occasional supplies)
Shelter from weather and predators
One or two branching paths, but usually a clear point A to point B route
Tips:
Always bring a light source (lantern, torch, or flare)
Cold caves may require fire-starting gear
Expect tight inventory space—loot is sparse, but coal is heavy
Map Accuracy & RNG
These maps are sourced from the most up-to-date versions available at the time of writing.
Some item locations shown are guaranteed spawns. Others are subject to RNG.
For example, matches may appear in a house on one save file, then be completely absent in another.
Use maps as navigation aids, not guarantees.

Note: These maps are best used online for zooming and reference. For quick access, offline use, and route planning by difficulty, the static maps on this page are often more practical.
