My first map of Cendos had the western mountain range named "Mountains of
Sunrise", but in Aredos obviously.

The thing that really used to confuse me was latitude and longitude, I could
never tell which one went horizontal and which vertical until I had the
mnemonic that Latin is written on a horizontal line, therefore latitude is
horizontal. This was before I knew the meaning of the word "lateral", of
course ;o).
