Thank you for the sources cited.
As I said, they are incorrect.

Measuring from just sought of Wilmkirk to the edge of Snakepipe Hollow, Sartar is approximately 125 miles, and from the Marsh to the edge of Prax, about 100 miles.

The breadth of the Lunar Empire is supposed to be approximately 1000  miles by 1000 miles.

The maps are incorrect. The numbers I am giving above are more correct, though perhaps not exact.

And as always, you are welcome to VYG.
