Tol Morwen is the farthest west. North of its location is Tol Fuin, the remainder of Taur-nu-fuin, a forest in the highlands of Dorthonion. Just a little to the east of Tol Fuin is Himling, which is the remainder of the hill of Himring.

I believe that Lindon was the only region of Beleriand that survived as mainland.

An interesting result to this catastrophe, as Fonstad posits it, is that Mordor may have appeared at this time when the Inland Sea was drained during the destruction of the Iron Mountains and the Great Gulf drained part of the waters. Volcanic processes in that land, she states, would have allowed for relatively rapid mountain-building.
