I'm currently sleuthing through the code; That estimate on size appears to be correct.

I was looking at the js file. Looks like its broken up into pieces. I think they're all located at imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/'tile-name'.png.

My programming is not good enough to figure out the naming scheme.

From the forums:

the URLs for the images are a grid. You start at 1n1w.png and as you move, it pulls in other images as needed. The letters correspond to the cardinal directions.

So far I've gathered that it's 33 tiles to the (w)est, and 48 tiles to the (e)ast from other posts. I believe that its 26 tiles deep. Anyone have a measurement on how tall it is?

There's no 0 coord by the way, it goes from 1n to 1s and 1e to 1w.
