Sources
The Hawkins map is from the Stranger Things companion book, Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down: The Official Behind-The-Scenes Companion. It’s used by Hopper in season 2 to add decay markers after visiting the pumpkin patches. The markers are still visible on the map, around the Hawkins National Laboratory.
The Starcourt blueprints are reproductions of designs from production designer Chris Trujillo (Source). Some of the place names have been updated to match the show.
Inconsistencies
-
Benny's Burgers
Benny’s Burgers is at 4819 Randolph Lane but Murray’s map places it somewhere on Randolph Way, so the map might not be correctly labelled
-
Maple Street
The Wheelers and Sinclairs live on Maple Street but the map only has a Maple Avenue. The Maple on the map crosses Dearborn, which fits with what we know from the show:
“Meet me at Dearborn and Maple at 8:00. To study.”
Nancy to Steve, S1E1However, in S4E7, when Nancy, Robin, Eddie, and Robin go through the curse gate in Lover’s Lake, Nancy hints that her place is closer than the police station:
“We don’t have to go all the way downtown for guns. I have guns, in my bedroom.”
Nancy, S4E7Later in the episode, the Fruity Four bike past the Creel House, so we can assume it’s between Lover’s Lake and the Wheelers. If the Wheeler House is indeed close to Lover’s Lake, this would mean that 3 of the curse gates would be in close proximity (Creel House, Lover’s Lake, the Munson trailer), despite the shot of the gates making it look like they come from opposing sides.

Mayor Kline’s map
In season 3, episode 4, Joyce and Jim look at an old map in Mayor Kline’s house; this map and the dialogue is inconsistent with the one used here.
“Hess Farm, Henry’s place, Bullocks. Look, they’re all here. They’re all in Southeast Hawkins, right near Jordan Lake. And what else is near Jordan Lake? The power plant.”
Joyce and Hopper, S3E4On our map, Jordan Lake is not in Southeast Hawkins, and it’s nowhere near Starcourt Mall, which is supposed to be built on or around Hess Farm. The map being reversed could be a reference to the Upside Down (’Jordan Lake’ also becomes ’Lake Jordan’), but that wouldn’t explain the fact that Starcourt Mall is now near Jordan Lake.
Based on the above, it seems like the writers didn’t intend for any map on the show to be an accurate representation of Hawkins, including the one used on this website.
