The reason Legolas can see that far is because the curvature of Earth doesn't exist for elves. It is the same reason they can sail off into the Undying Lands without circling back around.

Didn't Middle Earth lore say the Earth was flat, but was made spherical later? Had that happened by then?

Yes, but it's not spherical for the elves, just the other races, which is why elven boats can sail to the undying lands, but human boats can't.

This gives strong "Lovecraft describing things he doesn't understand as noneuclidian" vibes.
