'''Maps''' is a member of [[Bridge Four]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|27}}
==Appearance and Personality==
Maps is flat-faced and balding, and has thick eyebrows and a bushy beard. Although he is initially apathetic like most bridgemen, he becomes gregarious and well-liked, and is able to put other people at ease.{{book ref|sa1|40}}{{book ref|sa1|55}}
"Maps" is a nickname that comes from a birthmark on his chest that he swears is an exact map of [[Alethkar]], although Kaladin does not see the resemblance.{{book ref|sa1|40}} His real name is unknown.
==History==
Maps was among the members of Bridge Four that Kaladin met in his early days as a bridgeman. He was not one of the first to accept Kaladin's leadership.{{book ref|sa1|27}} However, he was drawn to camaraderie and soon became one of Kaladin's supporters.{{book ref|sa1|27}}{{book ref|sa1|40}} After Kaladin's judgement in the [[highstorm]], Maps gave a brief speech addressing Bridge Four. He expressed support for Kaladin and presented [[Rock]] with his razor; the other bridgemen appreciated him speaking up.{{book ref|sa1|40}} However, he was skeptical when Kaladin later brought up the idea of an escape attempt.{{book ref|sa1|43}}
Maps continued to become more relaxed and friendly around the group, and encouraged others to talk. He was among the bridgemen that figured out that [[Sigzil]] was a [[Worldsinger]], and asked him to tell the men a tale while they were on chasm duty, much to Sigzil's chagrin.{{book ref|sa1|55}}
He died during the fifth battle in which [[Dalinar]] and [[Torol Sadeas]] cooperated, taking a [[Parshendi]] arrow through the lung and into his spine. Kaladin attempted to perform emergency surgery, but was unable to save him.{{book ref|sa1|57}}<!-- SA timeline ref R103 --> He was one of the people that Kaladin thought about before swearing the [[Immortal Words|Second Ideal]] of the [[Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa1|67}}
