Map Info:
Size: 142x142
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.
