Map Placement Guide
The most comprehensive map placement guide is this one on GameFAQs by FDesroches/ANelson.
To use their layouts, select the following location, which gives plenty of land area to work with:
See the guide above for more map layouts, but here are my two favorite:

Easy to use for a first playthrough. Has all levels of shops, decent mana levels, and great access to pets.

Home Grown Crops Map
More of a min/max build and requires a pretty specific questing order. But it maxes out mana at home for fast crop growing and gives you access to 5 pieces of Altena Alloy!
