I pulled up Google Maps and zoomed in on the Provo area, then used the earth view image to compare to your map. Other than the intricacies of converting a real world built on squarish grids to a model world built on hexes, I think you have the general feel pretty well in hand.

Another site I use a lot for map research, really useful as you can draw lines on it for routes, and it gives way-point distances.
