I think I did mean West in that last posting-- sorry.

Reversing the map does seem to work-- although I don't know why 
WE didn't need to reverse it.  In fact, if you look at the map in the
access guide, it happens to be in the same position as the town map
on the back cover so that it's easy to see where things line up.

Things are a little bit off, but Glastonberry is where it should be as
are the falls (#2) and the fire symbol (packard mill #4).  The crab
thing, whatever that is, is now located in Old Unguin's Field.  The two
mountains with swirls more closely line up with Blue Pine Mt. and an
unnamed mountain.  The circular area in between also lines up with Pearl
Lakes.  The weird line at the top with a big wavy line above it, also
corresponds with a river leading to Pearl Lakes.  Not that this means
anything-- but I thought it was interesting.
