Which map? Most maps that have the hypothetical landmass place it with the South Pole at its center, with land spreading outward as far as will fit with the known landmasses.

They also make it many times larger than Australia (usually to conform to the theory that the hemispheres should have equal landmass).

I'm guessing OP is referring to the Piri Reis map and the various claims around the identity of its "Southern Continent": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piri_Reis_map
