So I just found this: http://members.madasafish.com/~cj_whitehound/Fanfic/map_of_Hogwarts.htm
Some girl decided to go super hard core, take every reference from every book, interview, promotional material, etc etc, align them in a hierarchy, and then tried to make Hogwarts and the grounds make sense.
She does really fucking well. Not only is it an impressive read (she shows her work, which includes things like window angles and views, sunlight angles, timing and horizon elevation, average walking speed, and more) but it seems like it's pretty damn accurate, especially since she starts going into castles that JK Rowling either knew of, grew up near, or showed fascination with as a little girl that more than likely inspired Hogwarts.
