Explore! Whilst doing so, why be in the mindset of maps, or of cartography generally? I invite you to instead view it from the perspective of art, subliminal and superliminal messaging, psychological priming, and, while you are at it, why not add in a dash of "Could there be mostly propaganda in here?" You'll be surprised what you see and find. I'd be more than happy to attempt to see what you saw if you point to it concretely. In that regard, however, a disclaimer is more than warranted: what is shown to one viewer may not correspond to what is shown to another or to every other viewer; the very same is true for the same viewer at two different points in time, regardless of whether the period between viewings is a month, days, hours, or even minutes. It really is quite beautiful in that sense. The same applies to every other 'aerial based' map or terrain provider, such as Esri (i.e., ArcGIS), Google (be it Google Maps, Earth, or Earth Pro), or whichever other platform you encounter, particularly those which blend different sources into a hybrid rendering.

The fun is quite understandable and, mostly, in good sport, when you understand that all of these platforms MUST distort the information so as to fit it into a baseline scaling that is awfully skewed. Of course, the fact that Mercator Map projections are usually deployed makes the world a beautiful canvas upon which almost anything can be drawn; nevertheless, even if more fitting projections were used, it would still be the case that the information must be distorted. The vessel in which we live is nothing like what is overwhelmingly believed, and a closer approximation may quite likely spook most people, throwing them into a state of fear that could very well harm their everyday lives. By the preceding, I am not referring to Flat Earth theory, because that this place ondulates heavily on a daily basis would frighten even Flat Earthers even if it were the case that overall their general perspective were correct. Rendering this vessel with its live ondulations as close to "real-time" as possible is a task that no corporation could manage to accomplish at present.

But hey, I didn't mean to get all ontological on you. I just want you to enjoy exploring the map with the perspective initially proposed so that you could have a few hours or days of laughs upon laughs. :) Whilst diked, the community that surrounds you is mostly safe. Just keep an eye open in the direction of the places where structures keep nature at bay. Steel and concrete do not ondulate as well as this lovely vessel does, and a strong enough ondulation could easily shatter any structure. But death can occur anywhere at any point. Why worry yourself with this type of death? The device you are reading this on is more likely to kill you anyway!
