Map of Arda...

I'm sure others of you have come across this map in your internet searches but here it is...

http://www.tolkienforums.com/first%2...Arda%20map.gif

It is also in the encyclopaedia of Arda by the way...

So does anyone but me have a problem with this map? I have one or two 'buts'.
For one thing, it's said that Orome moved the elves around the North of Helcar to get to Aman. Wouldn't it just be easier to go southward if these were the dimensions of the land? And I think Beleriand and Middle-Earth would be much larger, otherwise Men could settle just about anywhere in the 'Hither Lands' and Sauron would have basically limitless supply.

Another thing; three of the seven dwarf-civilisations were in Beleriand and Middle-Earth, whereas its said that the Seven Fathers of Dwarves were in 'far sundered places'.

I'm sure there are more objections, post here!
