If you ever get frustrated by that interface, check out this external app:
Morrowind Interactive Map
It can potentially be used as a spoiler in that you can search for "Thalymus family tomb" (fake name) and find out where it is, even if you've never actually visited that spot in the game.
I use that interactive map a lot to re-orient myself when I come back to Morrowind after not playing at all for a week or two. I can attach notes to locations reminding me what I was supposed to do there and save myself digging through the poorly designed in-game journal. There are times when a medium zoom level is easiest for navigation purposes.
