Move eastward along the Forbidden Lands till you reach the Grand Lift of Rold. Be careful, as visibility is low and there is a Black Blade Kindred boss in front of the Lift. It's better to use Torrent and ride all the way towards the end of this area.
Use the Rold Medallion on the Lift and you will be taken to the West Mountaintops of the Giants. Move forward a bit into the area and you will find the map fragment along the path.
