Diana Wynne Jones made fun of the "there must be a map in every fantasy novel" trope in her "Tough Guide to Fantasyland". It's really funny. But I agree with you, OP. The only time I enjoyed a fantasy novel without a map is Stephen Donaldson's "Mordant's Need", which referenced a map but didn't provide one. What it did provide was sufficiently detailed information about the world that you could draw your own, which is what I did, and had fun doing it.

The Benjamin Ashwood series by AC Cobble has such a great description of the geography that the map is superfluous but I still live looking at it. It isn’t the most OMG WOW map ever but part of its strength is that it’s lightly detailed, which makes it so much easier to read on cheap paperback printing.
