Map Info:
Size: 142×142
Map theme: It’s Noah’s Ark, there are plenty of animals in the middle
Notable features: Short and very tight path going through the middle. Top expands are open, bottom expands are closed. Very wide open middle.
I understand that the map overview can be confusing to read, especially the middle. I am constrained by the map theme which forces me to put an area with with a totally different color in the middle. I usually always avoid that because the map readability is one of the most important aspects. It shouldn’t happen again in the future, please bear with me.

Top open area

It is much larger than the bottom one.
