I've seen that in the Shaping of Middle-eath, HoME 4.
Though... haven't quite managed to read the book yet...

It is pretty cool. I think we're supposed to go "hey, it's Earth!" when looking at it, and I definitely did. But I have one problem with it. What exactly is the Encircling Sea in this map? The map implies Arda is a sphere, and the Encircling Sea is... the atmosphere?

It's a 'regular' sea, I think.. it's mentioned in the Silmarillion. Apparently, only the Valar know its length, and it's the place where Ulmo 'lives'.
It seems like the sun and moon passes in it..? I'm not sure, I only noticed it now. I've never put attention to the Encircling Sea. |

This is from the late Karen Wynn Fonstad's book "The Atlas of Middle -Earth".
She did an amazing work, making detailed maps not only to every tiny corner of Middle-earth, but to absolutely all events which happened on Arda since the dawn of its existance. I'm highly recommending to get this book. |

Huh. SO then why didnt the elves go back and forth. Also if isildurs peeps wanted to go there so abd why didnt they cross over. It just seems a little odd to me that they would ignore that route.
