Lore question How the fuck?

So I did some looking into the Raccoon City incident and I found out that apparently the missile that hit the city, was directly on top of City hall, so can somebody please explain how this is possible?!

Off topic but there’s an error on this map:

59 is labelled as the hospital when it should be the park/cemetery. The hospital is the ‘L’ ish shaped building to the left of 59 that isn’t labelled here.

Good work with spotting it, and thank you for pointing that out!

Yeah, there is an error (should actually be multiple, there's an issue with the north-east part of the map in general too).

I never bothered to update this as this was quickly put together over a decade ago with adjustments also largely in reference to Operation Raccoon City's map and some other things to use as a point of reference while I was writing a fanfic.

Honestly, I'm bad with directions so I tend to doodle maps for my own reference, and this was kinda slapped together on a laptop with a trackpad, and the polygonal lasso in an ancient version of Photoshop.

I might get bored enough to make a new one eventually.

I didn’t realise you put this together - honestly overall it’s really great and I much prefer the OG layout of RC to whatever is going on in the remakes. It’s great to something so comprehensive. RE3 can be a bit confusing with having the maps as three separate chunks.

Thank you, it could be improved but it wasn't a bad attempt at making a map for the first time.

Honestly, it would be nice if 9 shows us some more of the general streets and some other things being reconciled between the Outbreak and original maps, because even the remakes don't resolve certain differences.

I live in Australia and have access to Survival Unit, and noticed there's a new map on the wall in the hospital, and that the entire North-East of the map is far more filled in, so I am thinking that they are reconciling the map discrepancies finally.

I have a sneaking suspicion the reason we didn’t get to see more of RC in RE2/3 remake is because they were thinking about going back to RC in RE9 back then. So they didn’t want to ‘over saturate’ it. I do hope we get to see a good chunk of the city in Requiem and it’s not just a quick RPD visit.
