What is the size of yours?
In pixels it's 12000 x 5200 ... but in order to reduce open water and flying times, we left out the middle island group between Attu and Unalaska, and put these two far closer together ... and we did the same with the Attu and the Kiska group ... 12000 pixels is already a large map to load.
Reduce the scale and you can get them all in on one map of course, but then the landmass left over is small too ... this is just another way of having American held and Japanese held islands on one and the same map, without it being too huge ... just a little trick with geography in a way.
I think if you kept it all to scale at 50m = 1 pixel, then you could start flying at Attu and watch the extended version of Lord of the Rings before you got to Dutch Harbor ... ha ha
