In HoME 4, Christpher lists the names on this map or sketch, because they are quite difficult to decipher (I couldn't understand most of them [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ):

Quote:
The East: Walls of the Sun; Burnt Land of the Sun; Outer Seas

Central regions: Hither Lands; Inland Sea; Straits of the World; East Sea; Dark Land (South Land)
Matching the map with this list of names, I think that the Burnt Land of the Sun (the pre-Americas) is in fact the semicircle in the rigth side of the map, beyond the walls of the sun. If I am right, it is represented as a separate continent, not being part of the Dark Lands.

I don't have David Day's Encyclopedia, and therefore I don't know if his drawings match Tolkien maps.

Hope this helps [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
