Yes it is.
It also doesn’t help that the show seem to have deviated from the map geography at some point. They basically tossed the map out of the window and made everything accessible by the Friendship Express rail.
For example,the Kirins are supposed to inhabit a remote tropical looking island in the southeast corner of the shown map that should only have been accessible by ship. But in the show, they are a village in the middle of a jingle nestled in the middle of a Ayers Rock-like mountain surrounded by desert that was the terminus of the Friendship Express. The Hippogriff Kingdom, which is a little island in the middle of the ocean was apparently accessed by rail in the show.

Most of this map was added on by fans.
Though I do speculate the official map was never completed, judging by some landmasses on said map that seemed to go off what are shown and lead to nowhere.
