Yes, here's the new and improved version of my infamous parametric map of the Milky Way Galaxy. Changes were made to try to reconcile my calculations with current scientific observations and information given in "Dark Frontier."
These were created on a TI-83, but can probably be inputted into different calculators.
Milky Way Galaxy
X = 50000cos(T) Y = 50000sin(T)
Voyager's Path
X = 100T Y = 420T-22500
United Federation of Planets
X = 4000cos(T)-2000 Y = 4000sin(T)-22500
Borg Space
X = 4750cos(T)+14490.62 Y = 4750sin(T)+38360.605
Krenim Imperium
X = 8205.069238cos(T)+19409.735 Y = 8205.069238sin(T)+23596.27
Malon Space
(Now this is scary...)
X = 16002.53846cos(T)-6778.884 Y = 16002.53846sin(T)+18118.151
Note: I could switch the Krenim Imperium and the Malon to opposite sides of Voyager's path, but since I don't like the Malon much, I decided to put them where the would get trashed by the Jem'Hadar.
I'll eventually get around to figuring out equations for the Romulans, Klingons, and Cardassians, but not for a while.

Holy Mother of Bart Simpson! Geez, how did you figure all that out? I bow in your presence. And this all looks good on my (borrowed) calculator.

Kreni, you're a genius! Because you reminded me of those calculations, you showed me where Ileft my calculator. It should be somewhere in my room, not lost at school!

Ugh...calculators are impossible to photograph properly...
Anyway, here's an image of what the map looks like...

Anyway... YES! That's exactly what it looks like! Thanks, Frank!

Malon space looks really scary. Can someone spoil me and tell me what evidence there is for the huge size of this territory?
Just that Voyager keeps getting thrown ahead several thousand light-years but still encounters them a lot...

This seems to open up a new storyline for Star Trek. However, our galaxy is getting more and more crowded.

My graphing calculator wasn't too happy with data and took forever to load. I have a Casio CFX-9850G. These graphing calculators always give me headaches.

I promised more equations, so here's a new one:
The Dominion
X = 5281.005803cos(T)-28331.43 Y = 5281.005803sin(T)+33009.745
Given size of the Dominion is probably a minimum. Three-dimensionally, this would give the Dominion a volume equal to that of the Federation, Klingons, Romulans, and Cardassians combined.

It's a mixture of canon and non-canon stuff. By the way, I completed the rest of my parametric equations, inputted them in Mathematica 3.0, and saved various perspectives of the resulting map. You can check it out here.

Perhaps the malon are just traveling reallyt far out because they need to dump their garbage. Here's a theory: everything in the universe takes up a small amount of space, but a much larger amount of subspace. That theta radiation that the malon dump perhaps takes up a much mcuh mcuh much larger amount of subspace. The void was empty, hence the void's subspace was empty. Thus, there was alot of room for theta radiation there. However, in normal space, there are lots of stars and junk that take up pieces of subspace. So, overtime, the malon took up a little bit of space but alot of subspace with their theta radiation. Now, the malon have to travel really far (30,000 lys far) to dump their waste.
