Topographic Maps in Welcome Bundle

Can it be? I’m not too sure, but I am having a bit of a hard time believing it. It does appear to be a legit story on the news, that when our city is assigned a new superhero every 4 and a half years, part of the welcoming package given is a bundle of topographic maps that allows the superhero gain a quick and very detailed understanding of this great city. I suppose it is only prudent to do that, but I had always kinda figured that superheros were just supposed to kind of know that stuff, you know?
