Landscape transform coordinates relative to what?

OK so I see that if I create a new tile it does act in an expected way however when I import a tile, the sample used is a 1009 x 1009 imported at prior location spec xyz=0x0x0. Its subsequent transform shows xyz= -5040 x -5040 x 0 The scale if it has a bearing is the default 100x100x100. The fog is still hanging heavy!
