  The North is on top or the south being at the bottom does not make sense space-wise. There are maps where the south is on top of the map, and some even made either the east or west. >
  
  Ever heard of a compass? >
  
  There's no reason for the North to be on top on the map . Just because it always shows north, north doesn't have to be the default top. The depiction of North being on top is because people decided that North is top. The compass would show North regardless of where we put it on the map. How we depict the map doesn't interfere with how the compass works.
