The four easterly beacons are shown on this map: Erelas. Nardol, Eilenach and Amon Din, from which the Citadel of Minas Tirith could be seen.

On the fourth night of the Ride, the Riders bivouacked among the pinewoods under Eilenach, and here they met the Woses. They were now less than a day’s ride (which judging by their progress would have been between 60 and 70 miles) from Minas Tirith.

Stonewain Valley ran south of Eilenach, between thickly wooded ridges, joining the road again south of Amon Din. Orcs were camped 3 miles west of Amon Din and were pushing west along the road. When the Riders came out onto the road again they were some 21 miles from the Rammas Echor, the Wall of the Townload. (The Ride of the Rohirrim; Bk 3).

The Forest of Druadan and the Greywood, under Amon Din, were given to the people of Ghan-buri-Ghan in gratitude for their help against Sauron. (Many Partings; Bk 3).
