My point was that there are clearly settlements within the area map, so it doesn't make sense to say "the fishing village is off the map, it's a little distance from the beach!".
What do you mean doesnt make sence? O_o
That willage is there, we were told by Fishermans that has ben used by the Illithid inside crashed ship. :-/
The rough size doesn't change just because the landmarks aren't there. If we are getting a 100 mile area map, and there is no fishing village, then the fishing village is 100 miles away or more. That's not a reasonable distance to cover to get to the shore.
Or its simply not written on the map ...
Funny story:
Just few years back (like 5y cca) when you buyed map in Germany and looked at it, the city i live in for last 30y was not there, we were simply not significant enough for them to recognize our existence.

Instead of Liberec, there was Reichenberg ... wich is name Germans give to this city during WW-II. ocupation ... and never bothered to change it back.
(Not sure if they do by now ... but at least they finaly give us corect signs on the road.)
Offshore or away from the village by a few miles? Sure. Offshore by 100 miles or more? That's not plausible.
You keep throwing here distances, and i still have no idea where you get them.

I guess there is that waterfall area, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. And it's back against a wall where you can't go any farther.
I believe he does mean that waterfall and stream ...
You have to keep in mind that this willage (and well) is abandoned for more than 100y now ... there probably was some spring back then ... and by time, one wall from cave that was used as a well collapsed and revealed much bigger cave system ... it seems obvious that in well without single wall will not be much water left.
