📋 About This Mod
It is a first paper map for Dayspring Canyon - made in the same isometric way as Forgotten Vale paper map for FWMF. Hope it will help you to navigate here and will add little bit of immersion. Mod continues series of paper maps for a Flat World Map Framework (FWMF).
One minor inconvenience about enabling world map for the location is losing option to fast-travel to the Skyrim from any Dayspring Canyon point right from start. Fast-traveling inside the area and leaving location on foot work normally.
For those who want to keep fast-traveling working, ZgamerZone51 kindly made a patch that enables global markers from/to Dayspring Canyon (just like one for Solstheim), its in Optional Files.
Flat World Map Framework uses mainly vertical look at map, but allows limited inclination and rotation with held right button as well.
INI file with comments included in FWMF allows to tune map control (keyboard, mouse and gamepad), possible angles and blur.
Requirements
-
- FWMF
Installation
The archive is mod manager compatible.
Install FWMF FOMOD first (Fantasy Paper Maps package preferable). Make sure FMWF is the last in plugins list (only weather fixes or FWMF various patches may be lower), then install this mod normally and place it last in mod order.
Make sure Flat Map Markers config file (FlatMapMarkersSSE.json) has this part:
"name": "Dayspring Canyon",
"editorID": "DLC1HunterHQWorld",
"markerHeight": 180000,
"enabled": true
Compatibility
Compatible - SE/AE/GOG (1. 6. 640 including), but be sure to pick your exact Skyrim version during FWMF FOMOD installation.
Not compatible - with map mods except FMWF and with Immersive Dawnguard Dayspring Pass SE.
Recommended Mods
Atlas Map Markers - Updated with MCM works perfect and smaller markers make map more readable. Just be sure to put Atlas' .esp before FWMF in load order.
Get along with most UI overhauls. Dear Diary UI and its skins are highly recommended.
Known Issues
None so far.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – 2.9 million downloads and 2,615 endorsements show it's a go-to for map overhauls.
- Handmade paper style gives a fresh, immersive look that fits the wasteland vibe.
- Simple install – just drop it in and it works with FWMF, no fiddly config needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires FWMF to function – if you don't have that framework, this mod won't do anything.
- Only affects the map menu – no other UI elements are changed, so it's a niche cosmetic tweak.
- Last updated in November 2024 – might not be compatible with future game patches, though it's likely fine for now.
For Fallout 4 players who use FWMF and want a more stylized, hand-drawn map instead of the default. Perfect for immersion-focused modders who already have a UI overhaul setup. Skip if you're not using FWMF or prefer a functional map with more markers – this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure FWMF is installed and activated before adding this mod to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement – manual installs can miss the correct folder.
- Check your load order – this mod should load after FWMF to ensure the map override takes effect.
