The map is a two-page spread, so it's length is oriented side-to side.  This means that in order to fit the map, it was sideways from the perspective that most maps are oriented with north being "up".  The labels are all situated to be read in this unusual orientation, but the compass rose makes clear that north is to the left in this illustration.{{csb|PG|32-33}}
