Right. Then I guess I can start theory deconstruction.

Based on that idea, Vale is a coastal town? FISH!

I think Beacon isn't across the ocean. Ruby mentioned she can see Signal despite having travelled quite a bit via Airship. Shortly, the reached Beacon after Jaune puked on the sibling's shoes.

I theorize that the White Forest is the mountain region besides the Red Forest. It wouldn't make sense for the White Forest to be across the planet (I think that's what you've said) if it's suppose to be a gravemarker that Ruby visits.

One thing I'm actually curious about is that giant fuck-off desert in the southwestern end of planet RWBY. I thought that was the original setting for the Yellow trailer. >_>
