Is this an official resource? It's really well done, but it still indicates "coordinates not confirmed" for some places. Anyways, I didn't realize the Shire is so far north either. The Shire seems so close to where the frozen wasteland where Galadriel was hunting Sauron.
From reading a bit more about the hobbits I guess they had three different kinds if ancestors, of which the Harfoots are one. Sam Gamgee was a descendant of the Harfoots, but Frodo and Bilbo were supposed to be descendants of one of the other groups, as was Golum.
