Hi, Hollydaze!

There is a fascinating discussion of this (and many other mysteries 
and inconsistencies) in our Frequently Asked Questions file:  
www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/faq/mysteries.html.  I also think we 
had a discussion about this recently.  If you do a search for 
Marauder's map or even just "map" you will probably find it.
