That is an interesting map. As JKP says, it's an overview of holdings, kind of a schematic floor plan of the abbey area.
It's getting closer, but still its arrangement is much more chaotic. Look at the central church, and notice how the other bubbles float haphazardly around it. This is because they correspond to the locations of actual things.
Also in the VM diagram, several circles contain not-so-earthly parts with cloud bands and fields of stars.
It's still an interesting parallel though. They label absolutely everything. Even the Sun and moon are labelled "Sun, east" and "moon, west".
