I wouldn't turn it upside down, North is still North.

But below the border it would just say, "here be fuds".

it's just a lil thing map nerds like to do to challenge the commonly used north at top and encourage us to give a second look to our landscapes

I know. I'm very used to antipodean maps that invert the hemispheres.

The Egyptians used to map the Nile that way too.

Just feels odd to do it in this case.
