Looking at the fold-out map at the back of "FotR," it's difficult if not impossible to say where the western border actually lies. If there must be a specific border, I would consider it to follow the Misty Mountains down to their southern end and then include everything east of the River Entwash (including half of Rohan) and everything north of Cair Andros (including northern Ithilien) and then all along the north of the Ered Lithui. This would mean that both Moria and Lorien were included in "Wilderland." Some people may take issue with that, but I never did.
