I noticed that the Ulysses section has been upgraded with crater images which I like a lot, just added the official map of impact sites in Anea under "other craters" but it could also be used for the text featuring Anea.

But respectfully I find myself unable to concur with your decision to declare the large crater image just as concept art for Newfield Island and feel compelled to elaborate:

Was it original concept art for Newfield Island? Possible, I don't know the details.

BUT the moment this very large crater (obviously NOT the Anderson Crater we see in the AC 4 gameplay) ended up on the cover of the fictional magazine "The Graphic Colors of the World" it became in-universe canon, i.e. showing a very large crater (Goldberg Crater is merely one of the largest, i.e. not THE largest) and the addition of the AWACS plane apparently was intended to tell us that the image was taken from a very high altitude, emphasizing the size of the impact crater.

In other words: What may have or has been concept art for the Anderson Crater / Newfield Island was reused / 'canonized' by TPTB to provide us with a view of a very large and 'new' crater whose name and precise location remains currently still unknown (because it appears on the cover of the fictional magazine's "craters" issue I'd believe it's probably the largest one on Strangereal).

At the occasion I posted a comment / conspiracy theory on the Megalith page.

Considering the size of Strangereal Earth it is objectively highly (if not astronomically) improbable that an asteroid fragment would impact near an FCU airbase. It's even more improbable that an asteroid fragment would make a pin-point impact ONTO an FCU airbase (Saint Ark). With AC 7 we have yet another near-miss impact (i.e. FCU's Fort Grays Island air base) which made me think "WTF".

Somehow I don't buy the story that Erusean's Megalith facility was NOT operational during the Ulysses Impact Event. To me it rather looks as if some guys in the Erusean military abused the UIE and asteroid fragments in an attempt to destroy FCU airbases (something that couldn't be made public, of course, imagine the outcry of the Erusean population that the military didn't use Megalith to protect them...).
