It's a photo. A map shows things like streets and roads and other things that can be mapped. This is not a map.

It's clear that she never learned that one should never end a sentence with a preposition.

(Apparently, Brian Krassenstein has not learned this, as well.)

18. "This is the type of errant pedantry up with which I will not put."

(Attributed, possibly apocryphally, to Churchill).

https://law.utexas.edu/faculty/wschiess/legalwriting/2007/07/prepositions-ending-with-understanding.html

The rule generally is true, but naturalness of sentence structure should prevail, according to at least one modern style manual I've seen. The blog link gives a revised version of the Churchill quote which is more correct, though it also ends in a preposition.
