So where is it now?

Maybe it was a map of Eden on one side and Brickstown on the other. And maybe the X was just a clever ploy to try to throw you off, but instinctually, you knew it was in Talos Island all along.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Let's back up for a sec and review. I found a map of Eden which shows a location in Brickstown which is in Talos Island. Maybe when I enter the instance, I will end up in Steel Canyon which is in Atlas Park!

Perhaps he was getting too into an old videogame...
Why was there even a map? Does it look like the Devouring Earth need maps? Or could even hold a pen to draw a map?
Another explanation is that they're tunneling one way and you "head them off at the pass."

Ohh guys seriously? I can't believe you are all missing the obvious.
The map is a Nemesis plot.

Thats what happens when u make maps with an etch a sketch ^_^

You know, ever so often there are clues that contradict themselves in their very own text. Like, say, a clue that directs you to where you can find Fieldmarshal Bulech, who turns into Archon Cassidy when you enter his mission, or how Desert Adder is called Sidewinder in one spot. But today was the first time I found a clue that contradicted itself TWICE.

Map of Eden
You found this map of Brickstown on one of the Devouring Earth creatures you defeated. A large X has been scrawled across one corner of the map, and the word 'Terra' is scribbled above it.

When I spoke with Gigner Yates, she sent me to the location on the map, which was in Talos Islan.

I understand that it's hard to keep all text properly proof-read and that many of the older missions have undergone many, many transformations (No, Independence Port was not attacked by a space armada. The Security chief is lying.) and I can sort of understand Maria Jenkins' bio stating she was the first one to notice the Statesman was missing... When he actually isn't... But there's just a border past which these mistakes stop being mistakes and get just plain old funny

I think it was a map the kidnapee hurriedly drew. Which is an entirely other kind of bizarre in itself. It seems everyone in this city has precise geographical knowledge of every zone all over the place, enough skill to draw a map of the whole zone and, oh, enough time to do it all! Of course, if you don't know the address of where you're being taken, you can't really leave that, but it's just strange how many people draw maps of where they are being held.
Hell, there was some guy whose soul the Circle of Thorns took away, and he had the time and presence of mind to scratch a map of Oranbega leading to the Library of Souls ON THE LINING OF HIS JACKET! I assumed he used his fingernails.

i don't see how that clue contradicted itself in its own text
it seems like factors outside the clue were in contradiction to it but that's not the same as being self-contradictory

That, yes. The clue contradicted itself (and is hardly the only map in the game that's of a place it's actually not) and then the game contradicted it twice. Typically, wrong-location maps tend to at least spawn a mission within at least one of the possible locations the map is of. This one... Not so much.
Oh, and I just love it when a contact says "Hmm... This looks like an address in Founders' Falls. OK, go to the building in Steel Canyon that's at the address." Right!

Do you randomly pick forum posts to contradict people, or is there some system that you use?
A Wizard did it.
