This is something that happens to me all the time on my GER Norfolk layout. It's about 30-35 miles long, - which I would imagine seems tiny to some of the route builders on the forum, and mostly rural and partly coastal with small towns and farms and fields in a landscape that ranges from very flat out in the fen country to gently rolling up towards the Lincolnshire end.
Usually this happens when I'm doing scenic work of the kind where I'm looking over everything and doing small adjustments to fences and walls, placing trees and shrubs & etc. Suddenly I'll look up from what I'm doing and I'll realise that I'm not entirely sure where I am. Many of the roads on the layout now have signposts which helps a bit and eventually I do find my way to somewhere where's there's a familiar landmark and after that I'm fine.
And yes I do know I could look on the mini-map, but when I'm working on my little created world I like to be immersed in it and move about in almost a wandering fashion improving things to make it more the little world I want it to be.
