Un-populated areas

I live near the center of the world in Roanoke. I have a world map.. of sorts.

Anyway, where I live is simply close to where the wilderness guide randomly spawned me. And there are LOADS of other people here. In a 2 minute walking radius are around 7 different settlements. I don't like living in such an area. However, I have no idea where to go to

Go West.

Go West.

But.. I actually live quite near to the darkness. I can't really go any further west!

I've been exploring with useless alts and mapping roanoke for myself.. NE quarter of the map doesn't have much. South east, south central and south west near darkness has a healthy population, usually no more than a 20 min walk before bumping into a claim. Was surprised to find that the southern mountains are populating fairly quickly. Dunno why, but the seemingly ***** shaped mountain range has attracted many people.
