To give you an idea of roughly what sort of scale 2 miles to the inch is, this map is pretty close. At least on my computer screen - though it should be roughly right for most people.

Now if you just had a screen 14 feet wide, you could see the entire central plain of Atlantis! The entire island is somewhat bigger, as there are mountain ranges surrounding the plain.
