I've heard of indigenous maps scaled by time of travel rather than physical distances. Maybe that's why these Inuit maps look distorted.

I've never seen such maps (only heard of them), so if anyone has a link to such a map I'd be interested.

That's correct. While 30 cm is a revolution for satellite imagery, it's pretty common to have 5 cm aerial photos.
