What's wrong with this map?
So I came across this website that creates maps of college towns that you can purchase. I showed my fiance, who attended Miami (OH), and we thought about buying DeKalb and Oxford. Until I looked at DeKalb for about 30 seconds......can you see whats wrong with this picture?

Can't see why anyone would buy that map. It doesn't tell you anything and it contains areas that are not part of the campus.

yeah with west pointing up and the city ending at first street this is all kinds of jacked up. Either it says Northern or it extends to Peace Road and says Dekalb.

As a map it feels weird but as a picture/art kind of thing I think it probably works better with this orientation.

No Greenbrier. That will annoy the Greeks.

It should have the locations where you can get beer nuggets highlighted.

There's no corn on there, that's what's wrong with it.
