19. As a lifelong Oz fan...

I can confirm that East and West are reversed there.



Check out the simple compass rose in the upper right-hand corner. I think the map shown in the original post is a compilation of many sources. The books are very different from the movie(s) and musicals.

- Glinda is the Good Witch of the South and doesn't show up until the end of the first book.
- The Good Witch of the North is in chapter 2 and doesn't get a name until later books.
- The first book (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) has The Dainty China Country (Chapter 12).
- The Winkies are in the West (reversed map) and were enslaved by the WWW.

(I know this is all tongue in cheek, but as a literalist with mild Asperger's, I can't stand it.)
