Map # 1 is a modern map showing the island at the center.
Map # 2 shows the size, shape, scale and position of the ice-free island of 9,000 years ago.
Map # 3 shows the size, shape, scale due to the current ocean level NOT that of 9,600 B.C.
Further distortions in our modern map are a result of the weight of today's Antarctic Ice Sheet. This immense blanket of snow and ice depressed parts of the continent, causing more and more land to fall below ocean level.
