Weyard Northern and Southern Continents; Are there any pictures of them?

I've been photoshopping a complete map of all of Weyard using the in-game overworld from GS1 and TLA. So far I've fit Lemuria into the world map, and shrunk Crossbone Isle down so it fits in the Karagol Sea. I want to define the Northern and Southern edges of Weyard, but I'm having trouble finding any canon maps of Weyard with those edges showing.
The first place I looked for the edges was the in game mini map in TLA.

I can see what looks like the western tip of the Northern Reaches Continent (which I call NRC, I forget if it has a canon name, or if the GS community has a name for it). I can also make out what I *think* are the edges of the world through the fog, but I'm not sure.
I also found this poster which I'm pretty sure came in the box of TLA.

It gives me the whole southeastern edge of the NRC, but it sadly is cut off right before the "poles".
This image is pretty lo-res, but it gives me a lower view of Tundaria.

I was thinking of looking at the edges of Weyard from DD, but then I remembered that DD is (duh) after the Golden Sun event, so the edges are all different. I also remember a map of Weyard being shown to the King of Lemuria in TLA, but I cant remember if it showed more land. Are there any canon maps Weyard that go down further, or any higher res scans of that third picture? I would like my map to be as accurate as possible, and I'll post it on here if I finish it.

edit: I just remembered that the in-game mini map in TLA has little dots showing the exact location of every place in the game, including the stuff in the fog, so I can use those as anchoring points for the partial NRC map I found on vgmaps.

http://www.goldensunrise.online/topic/9265967/1/#new Some of the source maps are a LITTLE bit better about the Northern Reaches, but not by much, and the final results might get you a few pixels closer to the unknowable north tip of Weyard.

Has anyone tried using some hax, glitches, and a Lemurian Ship to actually get to the map borders in those areas? I know that's iffy as far as canonicity, but it might count depending on detail.

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. They have the full in game map for GS1 and TLA on VGmaps.
Here is GS1

And here are the Northern Reaches and Lemuria.

Tundaria obviously doesn't even have a southern tip, and NRC isn't even there at all, not even those bits that I found on those other maps, or even the in game minimap.

I find it funny how Crossbone isle looks less like a crossbone than Treasure isle and is so big there's no way anyone could possibly miss it while sailing the Karagol sea. In fact, if the VGmap is to scale, you can actually drift off course and land on an island larger than the Karagol sea while trying to sail across the Karagol sea. Now that's some extreme off course.

I justify the size difference like it's the camera is zoomed way in. I noticed a similar problem with lemuria, in that they had to make lemuria on a separate world map because it wouldn't fit in the existing one.
