Can anyone recommend a detailed map of Buckland please ?

Also, there a couple of questions people might be able to help with : -

- The Hedge ran from the North Gate all the way down to the mouth of the Withywindle . Did the Old Forest run alongside it the whole way ? The reason I ask is that in most maps the Forest doesn't seem to go as far north as the Road so presumably the most northern stretch of the Hedge ran along open country ?

- The North Gate of Buckland itself . Was it right by the Brandywine Bridge ? In the ROTK there's not really a description of it . Merry mentions the North Gate as the hobbits are returning to the Shire and Gandalf says he may have trouble, but when they get to Brandywine Bridge there's no further mention .
