Yes, that's precisely what I meant, Mephisto. I want a map I can show my players which won't give anything away.

You could use the map files (CC2 files) in The Mordent Cartographic Society in the cemetary section of the fraternity and tweak them to how you require. Not perfect solution as it won't cover the 5e versions and not all the domains are available but it is do able.

How about the following map?
It is quite crude to have many details on, specifies only domains by name, the portraits around can be easily be cut, torn or burned away and it has an old look to it, plus it shows some important structures without naming them. For better resolution try the 3e Ravenloft Setting book.

Isn't that very pretty map from the first Ravenloft box?

Nope this is a promo map by TSR that was distributed to hobby shops in 1998 for the Ravenloft campaign setting. The front of the map shows a full-colored illustration of the Lands of the Mists by Robert Lazzaretti, the back of the map has detailed information about various aspects of Ravenloft: some darklords, The Domains of Dread, Techniques of Terror, an Introduction to the Land of the Mists, and a helpful section detailing how to begin a campaign in the Ravenloft setting. It is a collector's item and someone can buy it in e-bay for US $3,500 :azalin:

PS
No I don't own one, I didn't even know of its existence before a few years ago.

Surprised that nobody mentioned this map of the Core, from the Ravenloft Cartographical Society thread; I daresay it's my personal favorite overall.

It is a great map but to digital IMO to be used as an in game prop. Plus it gives a lot away, which was the actual request not to reveal info that the players must not know, like the location of the Monastery in Markovia, or the House of Diosamblet. It is good that in Dementlieu it has the whole complex of houses belonging to the Council of Brilliance.

The one I posted here from reddit is an adaptation of 5th edition to a Core map, thats why Falkovnia is so small

Yeah, saw that map when it was posted; great work, but unfortunately shows many reasons why I really dislike 5e even though it's correcting one of its worst mistakes (eliminating the Core).
