Nothing came when I searched for this...
Have there ever been any official maps showing the location of ley lines in the Palladium world?

Not to my knowledge. IMO, ley lines on the Palladium World tend to be somewhat transitory. Magic is currently at a low ebb, and like streams in a dry season, they come and go as the etheric tides change. If there's a ley line here NOW, chances are there will be one here again, but you might wind up with a change in the astrological conditions that made this one possible, and it won't come back for a year or a week or until the moon is in the second house again.

It makes astrology a valuable skill, and druids good friends to have.

Bletherad has such a map, but it comes with a disclaimer that it is neither all-inclusive nor particularly accurate.

The map I made for Bizantium (p65) had a ley line, but it was edited out. The ley line they originally put in would have been fine by itself, but now that I've read the text, I see why they cut it out; they would have had to put in several more ley lines, and it would have made the final version too crowded.
