I don't know if there's a map as far as where the highways the Tevinters built are or how extensive they were.
We know one runs from Ostagar to the Templar's prison, forgotten it's name.
ah yes Aeonar:

Looks like the Imperial highway again.

If I remember correctly, Mike Laidlaw posted a screenshot of roughly that area (on a map of Thedas, it included Solas and Parivantium in the southern desert of Tevinter) about a year ago, in a cryptic tweet that seems to have been deleted.
I've been thinking Tevinter will be a location in the game for a while now, this new picture is certainly interesting.

Would be nice to pay it a visit.

You could be right.
I do think we're going to Tevinter, although the only reference I found to it was Darrah's interview with Adam Sessler .
Is there anything else you have heard ?

It's in the barren southern section of Tevinter, far away from the capital and closer to the Free Marches and Orlais. Mike's tweet from a while ago also mentioned (jokingly) something about a trade route running through those areas.
Also, the caption does mention a fallen empire

Hm, not much at all - this is the most "obvious" hint about Tevinter that they've ever given, between the reference to an empire and the Silent Plains being the general name for the trading area near Solas/Perivantium.
I don't think they'd be deliberately deceptive, though those references are still very obscure. I think a visit to at least the southern portion of the Imperium is looking quite likely at this point.

There is some very short game footage of such a bridge leading to a village.(I'll try to take screens)
As far as I know the Imperial Highway is almost everywhere so it doesn't mean Tevinter at all.
EDIT:

Also well I really wonder if we're going to Lothering , and the part of Ferelden which really suffered from the Blight.
It's supposed to be an DA2 artwork:

Inquisition promises to be the biggest Dragon Age yet, taking into account a whole array of choices, as you journey across the vast expanses of Thedas from the Tevinter Imperium to Ferelden and the Orlesian Empire.
“A single action can change everything,” Producer Cameron Lee states, before showing us “very, very pre-alpha” gameplay for the first time. Right off the bat, Inquisition presents you with the usual customisation options for your character, meaning you can choose their gender, race – elf, human, dwarf and for the first time, Qunari – class and so on.
The gameplay section we're shown forms part of an optional quest that can have five possible outcomes, and takes us to Crestwood in Ferelden.

6) Global Conflict and a Witch : The world will be at war during the third game with both mages and templar vying for power and control.
The player will be traveling to various “exotic” locations in order to try and bring the peace. Orlais and Tvinter were mentioned on several occasions… oh yeah, there was also some concept art of a certain disapproving witch standing in front of a burning barn.
Witches HATE barns

Still, the bigger picture is of a game that wants to forget its predecessor ever existed. You can practically hear the boxes being ticked.
There's a proper world map again, running from the Free Marches to the heart of Orlais, from Ferelden to the remnants of the Tevinter Empire.
Environment reuse appears to be a thing of the past.

That's all i've found so far, though not to much from the devs besides Darrah's rev3games statement from pax.

True, and tbh I don't rule out the possibility, but I suspect their plans have changed over time. Notice how all they talk about now is how the game is ranging from, "Eastern Ferelden to Western Orlais".Spectre slayer wrote...
Hmm besides Darrah's mention of Tevinter, the story board that someone posted and possibly this i've found a few other mentions of the possibility of going to some Tevinter or some part of it at least.

And if you take a look at the in-game map from the DigiExpo Video, you can see there is nothing north of Nevarra.

All the white lines on the map are part of the Imperial Highway. There is more than one desolated spot that they cross.

Could explain the deleted tweet Elitepinecone mentioned.Laidlaw doesn't like to make a disclosure he might have to go back on later.He says he's wary of that.So if they have had to drop Tevinter that could explain it.Of course we would all be disappointed if that were the case.:innocent:

I'm still holding out hope for Tevinter. Besides, there are parts of Ferelden I can't see on that image. I'm thinking about the Blackmarsh, where, if I'm not mistaken, the Veil is quite thin. I believe it would be a waste of a good location if we didn't get to revisit the Blackmarsh.
EDIT: While it may well be, there is still NO REASON to believe this portion of the map (obviously not counting the blackened areas) is the entire map of Inquisition. For example, Tevinter. It was (and still is) a popular spot to practise blood magic, which has the side effect of thinning the Veil. I believe that we should expect areas where the Veil is thin to be visitable in Inquisition. (In the DigiExpo video, it was stated that the "main" tear in the Veil also caused several minor rips, so it's not unreasonable that places with a thin Veil would have it open far more easily.)

Cullen probably wasn't high enough on the templar totem pole to have that info.
Greigor might have known, Meredith might have known.:innocent:

I'm torn, but I'd be content to wait for a game where they can do Tevinter and the rest of the north (or at least a good chunk of it) justice. Minrathous, Arlathan, Weisshaupt Fortress, Seheron, Kal-Sharok, etc... all rendered in glorious Frostbite 4... 5... 6...?
