What areas are on the map and where are they located.

Maps are confusing me very much and each day we learn how many different kinds of maps there are and how not all of them are correct. We had learned all the good things about the map and what places are in the right spot but mostly on how not good things are. Certain places on there are called certain things for a reason. We think of them as places but a lot of these places have certain backround history. I still do not get why there are maps faced backwards and upside down but we are still finding new ways to make these maps. Certain places on the map show us if we are able to know the time zones or not. I also learned from the maps of some of where my ancestry was from and how they came about on certain foods and religion. How are we supposed to trust these maps on where to be if it is flipped upside down or they say one area is bigger than another when really its smaller so wouldn't we get lost if we are looking for one thing and can't find it due to poor direction. We use direction everyday and one wrong way and we are lost or are in the wrong place. Today we wrote down places on the map that we know of and I leaned a new thing about the oceans and where they are all at.
