this so fucking much
also the least significant an area is, the more precise you can have your map
a single village, town or a city? very precise
a county-sized region? somewhat precise
an empire-sized region? somewhat imprecise
a continent? distorted shapes and distances, lots of blank spots
world? literally just made up shit

and as a GM you can fill in the blanks or entirely redraw entire regions of your map as your story goes
a map is not a setting, so it's not the point you should be starting at
