  • $\begingroup$ Isn't the main "wrong" there the borders, and particularly the top border… that which "we" would normally see as North? Can you show a Here is a complete map, generated not randomly but specifically to show your terrain? Otherwise, isn't any Answer going to be random guesswork? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ "...and then the Great God O'ooglebarsh, being much drunk from consuming the Wine of the Gods, did stumble, and then quoth he 'Oh, dear', and then did he drop the world. Yea, upon the very Floor of Creation didst he drop it, and it fell from a great height, a-way up there, and it landed on the Floor, a-way down there, and thereupon it went THUD! And lo! The mountains did rise, and the valleys did fall, and great was the tumult thereof - and serve 'em all bloody well right if you ask me" - the Gospel of O'ooglebarsh's Wife, chap. 3, verses 12-22. Makes as much sense as any other explanation... $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Paul Even being 100% true, that doesn't help. What would help would be a wider map, showing more terrain on all sides and particularly above. Does that not work for you? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @RobbieGoodwin what's the point? The map shows the complete planets surface. Just render it into a sphere (see answers below) and you're good. Either way, what's not helpful about the Ural-example? $\endgroup$
