To address some of the complaints.
 
  1. This is not a perfect map of the PreFIM world. As much as I would like it to be, I am simply not a good artist.
     
  2. Within the story, Canterlot was not a city at the time. It was an Imperial outpost along its southern border.
     
  3. Equestria does cover the Everfree, though technically only the area surrounding the Castle of the Two Sisters is considered Equestrian territory. The rest belongs to Thicket.
     
  4. Equestria would have been fairly larger had Discord not thrown a wrench in it, and turned the early Equestrians in a collection of squabbling states.
     
  5. The map covers territory from when Sombra was born. It underwent numerous changes as the years went by, such as Equestria stretching its borders southward.

A thought that came after my post edit locked: looking at this again and comparing it to the canon map, since the outline appears to be the same, the position of Horseshoe Bay makes me think that Equestria is centered more or less on Canterlot and environs, and the Crystal Empire just extends a lot further south than in the show’s present.

I don’t quite get where all the downvotes are coming from, either.
 
My only complaint is that Equestria should be a touch bigger, encompassing Mount Canterhorn and the Everfree.
 
I tend to agree. I probably would have centered ancient Equestria more or less where Canterlot, Ponyville and the Everfree are now – sort of like a roundish shape in the center of the continent rather than a strip along the southern border of the Crystal Empire.

What’s with all the downvotes?
