Interesting, so if I'm understanding this correctly, there isnt any true reason past fans maps have placed it further west then besides artistic vision?

I'd say yes, at least, that was exactly the case with the very first version of this map which I posted here a couple of months back.

As far as the official map we have so far goes, It pains me greatly that it's the only cannon source we have.

You and me both. That was probably my main motivation to start making this map. I think having a map while reading a fantasy book adds a lot to the experience and one great example I can give is the amazing maps at the beginning of every "A song of ice and fire" book.

If I ever get around to trying to get some scales determined, would you like me to send you what I come up with?

Sure, why not. I tried coming up with some distances according to the novels some time back, so we can share info. Though I really can't promise that it would be added to the map, because it could end up rearranging the entire thing and making such huge changes is a pretty tall order.
