Chapter 3 - Where Was Castle Black in Taltos?

Taltos takes place about 240 years after The Lord of Castle Black, which is enough time to move 2,400 miles.

According to Kragar, it is about 50 miles from Dzur Mountain.

[Morrolan] lives about a hundred and fifty miles inland, in a floating castle [Castle Black] ... Technically, Dzur Mountain is part of his fief. It's about fifty miles from where his castle usually is. (Taltos, Chapter 1)

Is "40 or 45 miles" the same as "about 50 miles"? Even if it is, there's nothing to "pin it" in place. Maybe it was 40 or 45 miles South of Dzur Mountain, but now it's about 50 miles west.
