Like many similar from the past, the first/earliest records, shows the limits of knowledge and understanding of the authors way back then. Many(most) such "allegory" are rooted in factual events, but blur the details, hence present with an element of fiction it often seems.

Lots of details can be gleaned from the flood story that aren't part of the written account.

Just make reasonable assumptions that will fill in the blanks.

Using the map of the ancient middle east where was the most likely site for the construction of the ark?

Actually, the continents were not separate at the time. It could be that it was built in the America's with lots of timber.
The flood and all the violent things that happened as the waters from the deep cause massive land movement or crust displacement. Also, the land masses weren't all that high before Noah's flood. With the massive title waves it was easy to flood the earth as the continents split off.
