identifying parts of a map

[Georgia Richards <garlic@MIND.NET>]

I just know someone in this group has the answer to this one.

         One of my teachers wants to know the "technical term" used for "that piece 
of the map that isn't where it would be because the piece of paper is too small".  
The examples used are a map of South America where the southern tip is off to the 
side, and a map of USA with Alaska and Hawaii to the side. Sometimes the piece is 
boxed sometimes it isn't. What is that called? The reference collection at my 
library (a K-5) is thin anyway and there is a BIG hole where I think this answer 
should be.
