Newbie here so i'm not quite sure what's meant by a map of the shadowrift... i thought the shadowrift was pretty much whatever you wanted it to be. Could for all you know be the hiding place of the Dark Powers.
Oh, Zilfer, that question is so charmingly 1997.
(just kidding, buddy.)
As of 1998, with the publication of
Servants of Darkness, the Shadow Rift has been the home of Ravenloft's Shadow Fey race, the Arak. Further details, including a real (if mediocre) map, were in
The Shadow Rift, and there was more recent elaboration in
Gazetteer vol V and
Van Richten's Guide to the Shadow Fey, but the map there was just a view from above.
From above it looks like a big Mist-filled pit, but below the mist (which protects the fey from the deadly sun) is a thriving civilization. (and a year above is a century below, due to something called the Temporal Fugue.) The darklord of the Rift is a hideous tentacled eldritch horror called Gwydion the Sorceror-Fiend, but thankfully he's imprisoned in something called the Obsidian Gate. So yeah, a map of the Shadow Rift would be a map of the fey homeland down below the mists.
