Well I have David Day's "Guide to MIddle Earth" or somehting like that, its an A4-sized book, with a purpley cover, and in it he has a big map of The world and Valinor, many things in which are Geographically inaccurate according to the Atlas of Middle Earth. I cant give any examples now, but I will go and have a look now. It seems to me that it is just how he imagines middle earth, not how it is. For one thing, I remember Beleriand is incorrectly placed.
Anyway, yes, I reckon he makes a lot of it up.
