I believe that is from the conquest of nerath board game. I believe it differed a little for the "official" RPG sources, but it was close enough.
D&D General If Nentir Vale were in the Forgotten Realms, where would they be?

Ok, that makes sense. However, playing 4e or 5e (or 1e for that matter) didn't really much different for my group.

Like @dave2008 says, it's from the Conquest of Nerath board game.
I thought about different editions for different planets in the Prime more in thinking about Mystara (the Known World, the Basic setting), but it could potentially be interesting. Or, as I said, annoying. Or, as you implied, maybe just a waste of time?

I would put the Nentir Vale in the plain region of Nevereska.

Looking at the Toril map, I’d say that there is plenty of room for a large continent between Osse and the stuff around Matzica. I’d put the whole Nerath-adjacent known world there, if I had to put it all in Faerun.
Or in the lands between Sembia, Cormyr, and the big desert I can’t be bothered to spell. Then it has the benefit of replacing references to Nerath with references to Netheril. My only human D&D character is from one of the non-flying cities of Shadovar Netheril, and I think putting it in there as a sliver of land that didn’t get turned back into desert works well, though in the campaign I played this character in that area is very inspired by elements of medieval Turkey, Greece, and Arabia, but land-locked, which changes the texture of a vale of scattered small settlements and old imperial roads somewhat. I like Netheril as Byzantine-coded but goth. And I’d put Nentir Vale right between the broken remains of Netheril, the encroaching desert, the Romantic Britain of Cormyr, and the Renaissance Italy of Sembia.

We once played a game of Space Gothic that was set in a fantasy simulation game that used another ruleset. While it sounds like a fun idea, we didn't really play much Space Gothic in the first place, so we had two barely understood rulesets to play at the same, and I was really hoping to play the Space Gothic character I made, not the medieval fantasy character he was inside the simulation. It might have worked better in a long running campaign where players might enjoy the change of pace and already get to play their "real" character a lot.

There is some wiggle room, but this thread addresses a number of the issues.
The second map looks about right. But it seems to mean the planet is something like half the size of Earth. In this case, on planet Mortal, ten degrees of latitude is say a distance of 35 miles.

I don't think we have anything to indicate what % of the planet the board game map depicts.There is some wiggle room, but this thread addresses a number of the issues.
