By "north," I assume you mean coreward. This is the direction of Ferengenar. Unfortunately, First Contact was only made with the Ferengi 14 years ago (not counting the encounter at Maxia Zeta, in which no communication took place and the Ferengi remained unidentified). That's only 3 years before Wolf 359, when Sisko was XO of the Saratoga. That reasonably puts the Tzenkethi War at or before the time of official First Contact with the Ferengi. I'm not convinced that the federation could have fought a war in the area without running into the Ferengi. For those reasons, I'd place the Tzenkethi rimward of the Cardassians, either to zenith or nadir of the Cardassian/Klingon border, or beyond...
