SCP-6132-J : Terrain Fumble

SCP-6132-J is a set of Rand McNally maps with several unidentifiable areas. While landmasses appearing on these maps are identifiable, other geographical features are incapable of being named.

Individuals viewing SCP-6132-J are, however, capable of recognizing the type of geographical feature depicted. Viewers of SCP-6132-J will often designate a feature as "an ocean" or "a river" while being unable to recall the location's proper name.

SCP-6132-J was originally discovered in 1976 along with a collection of geographic educational materials at Kirk Lonwood High School. None of the materials recovered in SCP-6132-J's immediate vicinity appear to possess similar properties. The entire collection can be accessed via permission from the 6132-J project head.

The following interview was performed by Dr. Aktus during routine re-testing of low-danger items.

Dr. Aktus: Hello, could you take a look at these maps for a moment?

D-10013: Absolutely.

Dr. Aktus: I have a few basic questions just to get a baseline for your knowledge.

D-10013: Sounds good.

Dr. Aktus points to the upper left of the map.

Dr. Aktus: Can you tell me which continent this is?

D-10013: Ha. Yeah that's North America.

Dr. Aktus points at the upper middle section of the map.

Dr. Aktus: Great. And this one?

D-10013: That's Europe. Is this seriously all I'm doing today?

Dr. Aktus then points to the area between the previously described points.

D-10013: Wait. What is that.

Dr. Aktus: Can you describe this to me?

D-10013: I (there is a long pause) I don't know.

Dr. Aktus points to a different area on the far right of the map.

Dr. Aktus: Can you name this area?

D-10013: No. I don't recognize the bodies of water.

All other tests have ended with similar results.
