A critical aspect to understanding history is to understand the geography in play. And I chose an auditory method of communication. Great.
The good news though is that you have found the Map Page! Down below are a collection of maps that connect to the story of Timur. I will be adding to this page as I come across additional maps. No promises though. The copyright realm is full of landmines.

Map #6: Here’s a map of the Middle East directly following the collapse of the Ilkhanate. Remember this set up. This is the political situation at the time of Timur. Credit: Ro4444
Map #7: The 4th Khanate we discussed: The Chagatai Khanate. See that city called Samarkand? Remember that. It’s going to be kinda important to Timur’s story. Credit: MapMaster
Map #8: With the split of the Chagatai Khanate in the 1340s, the eastern half became known as Moghulistan. Here’s Moghulistan in about 1372. Credit
