As I recall, there are no maps for Mirabar.

You could take Volo's descriptive details of the town in Volo's Guide to the North and design a rough sketch from that. I do it all the time for places in the Realms that don't have maps.

Volo add that drawing a map of Mirabar is punished by death ;)

Yes, for security reasons I know . Making maps of Mirabar is a hanging offense, but that's in-game.

Making a map for the DM to plot adventures is perfectly acceptable . Just don't let any Mirabarrans see it .

Don't know if that makes my job easier or harder.
Thanks for the help guys, I'll consult Volo.
Nice place you have here by the way.

That must be especially hard on tourists who can't find their way around.

I think the Mirabarans are too security conscious of their secrets and trade secrets that they do not wish others to know. One obvious evidence would be in Book 1 of the Hunter Blades Trilogy

We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

True. But I'm sure there are one or two friendly old merchants or tavern owners who are more than willing to assist a recently arrived tourist find his way about town for a few gold pieces .

Are there any other novels, apart from The Hunters Blades Trilogy, where Mirabar features heavily?

As far as I know, no.
