Answer: Four Hidden Objects in the County Surveyor Map Room

Did you get it right?

The map room hides a compass divider, button, postage stamp, and whale.

The Answer

The correct answer is: the compass divider, button, postage stamp, and whale suggested by broken map contours.

Here is why

1. The compass divider blends into the drafting tools.
2. The button rests beside the map weights.
3. The postage stamp peeks from beneath an envelope.
4. The whale is suggested by disconnected contour lines and rolled-map curves near the lower-left area.

Why people miss it

Dense contour lines already resemble fins and waves, so the animal shape is easy to overlook until the fragments are isolated.
