Layout of New Meridian

Is there an official map of New Meridian posted anywhere?

Any lines in story mode or other in-game clues which indicate the distance between two areas?

There isn't an official map--the best we have is the bits of concept art and certain ingame backgrounds.

What we know is that the city is nestled aside a large lake. It would seem that the Medici Tower marks the heart of downtown New Meridian, with districts such as Little Innsmouth and Maplecrest being outlier areas that are still considered a part of the larger metropolitan area.

Several backgrounds show that there are mountain peaks in the distance--the view of the greater part of New Meridian that can be seen in Big Band's storymode shows that a lot of it is nestled in a valley situated at the foot of such a mountain. The nighttime view shows that there's little development on the mountain, so it seems to be mostly contained to the valley area.

We also know that New Meridian is huge. It's a sprawling city, that much has been confirmed in lore interviews. Whether it can be spotted on the global map of the SG world is debatable (the globe displayed in some of the online menu backgrounds for Skullgirls is, in fact, a map of that world and not our own) but the lake it borders might be.

There's also a very, very old piece of concept art that was an actual top-down map of the Canopy Kingdom, but considering its age and that nothing is actually labeled in it it'd probably be hard to discern whether it was reliable anyhow.
