The Schley map (also known as the DMG 2024 map) is the common name for the map by Mike Schley of the Flanaess from the Dungeons Master's Guide (2024), published by WotC.
Schley is also known for his City of Greyhawk map from Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk (2007).
From the presence of some regional names which change or are no longer extant later in the timeline, this map appears to be set in 576 CY.

Description
The Schley map is a map of the Flanaess similar to, and covering the same area as, the Darlene map and Lazzaretti map.
Schley has stated in several interviews on various websites, podcasts, and livestreams that he based his work on the Darlene map.
Differences from earlier maps
The map uses a few updated terms for regions.
Most of the terms previously existed prior to this map as the "proper" or full names of nations, but were not the names used on maps, while others were only on some previous maps, e.g.—not on the Darlene map but present on the later Lazzaretti map.
