If you haven't noticed by now, all of the maps are connected even though some are in the different phases of having their bases built. This is a huge clue into the future of the game, let's talk about ideas for what it might mean.
I'm guessing the entire map is the one shown in the holographic table during the lobby, but that doesn't account for multiple maps.

Eh? There's nothing to guess about or speculate.
The maps represent districts on planets. Currently, they are static maps with very few variations. CCP has already stated they want procedurally generated maps for each district on each planet. There's no such thing as a "dust continent" made up out of the current maps. They just all happen to have the same planet type (temperate) ATM.
More planet types, more procedural generation, more structures, more land features and thus more maps coming soon(tm). Now someone criticize my lack of Oxford comma use. TIA. |

Well it's more than they all just happen to have the same planet type, as the OP said all the maps in the beta are actually different districts on the same planet (and on the same continent of said planet, not that that matters any). |

Ok, so the big holo map in the lobby is just one continent? How many continents can we expect per planet? How many planets are there? |

Afaik, the holo map on the warbarge doesn't represent anything currently. It's a placeholder for what will be a tactical overview of whichever district you're about to fight over. Just like the planetary background in the warbarge doesn't actually represent the planet you are fighting on either. The image is randomized, ask other squad members on the barge. I'm sure at some point, this will be updated as well. |

If you play Line Harvest and zoom out all the way, up in the northeastish area, just southeast of the big machine, there is a square plot with a ton of lines. It looks like the foundation (program wise) of a new area. Check it out. |

There are around 7000 temperate planets in EVE Online. |

The holo map will be an overview of the district you are about to fight over, correct.
The planetary background is actually the planet you are about to fight on as well. Right now all the beta maps "conveniently" take place on the same planet, so that's why you always see the same one every time. Eventually you would be able to see EVE ships orbiting the planet too. |

So you honestly think Dust is going to get over 7000 maps?
Right now there seems to be about 7 planets on the planetary holo in your merc quarters. I'm thinking this means something |

I do believe that we will eventually get over 67,000 maps multiplies by however many districts each planet will hold whenever they finally implement all type of planet into the game (may be a decade later).
The thing is each of these maps won't be designed. It will be generated.
So it kinda funny that ppl are currently being picky about this map is unbalanced, that map is unbalanced.
Sooner or later, all structure and installation in the map will be placed by players.
New Eden is anything but fair. |

If they'd look, they would see that multiple maps are actually the same map with less/more instillations |
