Sounds like the Brown Lands, but that's probably wrong.

I don't make them that easy, but I also didn't mean to kill the thread.
HINT: It's an alternate name of something that you've heard of, but Brownhay was only used in HoME.

In Pio's words, Radagast would be proud!

If I start out from the place that was 'three days from the Black Stone' and travel to some culumalda trees; then traveled to where Merry saw oak trees off to his right; then went to an 'elf-haven' and finally to see the Ethir Anduin.

What then, general geometric shape did I make in my traveling, and what places did I visit?

The place that was 'three days from the Black Stone' - Linhir. The grey company arrived at Linhir on the third day after they set out from Erech with the company of oathbreakers.

Some culumalda trees - These trees grow near the Fields of Cormallen

Where Merry saw oak trees off to his right - Merry (and the Rohirrim) was oak trees on their right at Fenmarch

An 'elf-haven' - The elf haven of Edhellond, near Dol Amroth, is the most logical haven for this riddle

The Ethir Anduin - Pelargir

If I have the places right, the path looks like a slightly lopsided square, or a lower case 'e'
