Star Trek Maps was an in-universe reference work published by Bantam Books in 1980. It was the first Star Trek publication devoted to stellar cartography with fold-out maps, and was released five years after small region maps appeared in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. Subsequent works incorporating 22nd and 24th century information would be released in Star Charts (2002) and Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library (2013).

Chronology[]

• Despite being published in 1980, the years assigned for TOS episode events were within four to six years of later-established Memory Beta Chronology dates.
• Cited years for other events corresponded variously to Star Trek's evolving continuity. For example, the date for the Beta VI colony fit well with other references. The Four Years War was cited in the 2240s, within a decade of FASA reference stardates that corresponded to the early 2250s. The date for the Deneva colony was within 20 years of other sources. But Neural's date of discovery became 30 years late due to later published sources. The breaking of the warp four speed barrier was cited in 2243, about a century late (ENT episode: "Broken Bow").
• A key date, the founding of the Federation, was given as 8 May 2127, 34 years prior to the currently accepted date of 12 August 2161 (Memory Beta Chronology). As such, Sol, Vulcan, Tellar, Andoria, Alpha Centauri, Alpha, Vega, Deneb, Marcos and Izar were cited joining the Federation, in that order, in years ranging from 2127 to 2157.
