The location estimate was correct
Hey Paul, do you have a source for this map, one I can contact. I would love to buy one to frame and hang on my wall. That's a very sharp design. Thanks.

I sure do. These maps are produced by Jan Vacek on Mastodon and Discord.
I'm unsure if he posts on other social media platforms.
He produces updated maps for M2020 and MSL.
BTW: I did ask him in advance if they can be shared, he kindly gave permission :)
If you don't have a Mastodon account to contact him, I can relay a message to him if you wish.
Here's his Mastodon account info: https://fosstodon.org/@JV_Honza@mastodonczech.cz
Even if he doesn't mind sharing I would still like to support his work. I do have a Mastodon account. As always you're very helpful and I appreciate that you took the time to contact him on my behalf.

I'm sure he's welcome a message / follow, and a share of his maps, so he can get a wider audience.
You can find me there as well https://fosstodon.org/@PaulHammond51 :)
