A bit confused about Magnimar's layout


Rise of the Runelords

Sovereign Court

I'm going over the map of Magnimar and the description of the various districts and I am a bit puzzled by a few things:

#11, Dockway: the text description mentions "... the seaside district of Dockway", but on the map, #11 is in the middle of the city, nowhere near the coast.

#14, The Marches: "The entrance to Magnimar for many traders and travelers...", this seems to me more like a district that should be next to a city gate.

#15, Beacon's Point: the name and description of the district seem to be describing what is listed as #14 on the map (which even has a big circle that looks like a lighthouse), but again, this district is in the middle of the city.

I wonder if a few of the numbers on the map are wrong. It seems to me that maybe it should be more like:
#9, the Arvensoar: from my understanding of the picture on p65, it should be further to the south (i.e., to the right of the map). Actually, it looks like it's the big gray thing close to what's marked as #12 on the map.
#10, The Bazaar of Sails might be in #9's place on the map.
#11, Dockway should be in #9 or #10's place on the map.
#14, The Marches should be in #16's place on the map.
#15, Beacon's Point should be in #14's place on the map.
#16, Rag's End should be in #15's place on the map since we put #14 in its place.

Does that seem reasonable to everyone? I hate to be a pain. I'm just trying to understand if I'm completely missing something or what... :)

By the way, I only have access to the hardcopy version of the adventure. I don't know if this is also the case in the pdf version.
