I was looking at the map in the back of my copy of RotK(which I have just now started calling The Zoom-In), and I noticed up in the corner there are the initials C.J.R.T. Why is that? Did Christopher Tolkien draw up that map, or did he make a rough sketch that Chris refined for publication or what? I haven't checked the Hobbit, but the initials are not on the other two LotR maps(or I guess the other one, since they're the same). Does anybody know what it means? Any info on this would be helpful.
