From the bookReal world

Artemis sits on the Sea of Tranquility, near where Apollo 11 landed. It's five spheres joined by tunnels: Armstrong in the middle, with Aldrin, Conrad, Bean and Shepard around it.

The sizes follow the book and Andy Weir: bubbles 200 m across, Armstrong 100 m, each half underground with floors stacked inside. Which bubble sits on which side is mostly the map's guess; only Aldrin's place on the east, by the Port of Entry, is from the book.

Everything outside is a long walk in a suit: the Sanchez smelter is about 1 km south, and Apollo 11 about 40 km away by train.
