So, as a specialist in this specific field - you are not wrong with a caveat or two.
The two maps must have the same exact topographic and geospecific data in the areas that overlaps or are adjacent.
Which is absolutely feasible, even if not exactly easy if the two maps are made by different teams.

Anyone else visit the whacky valley in Channel where they tried to merge it with Normandy and couldn’t?

That house upper right looks like an overpriced beachside mansion in California just waiting for the next rain to wash it away…

The 352ndVFG’s Cross Channel Map for lL-2 1946 has a similar anomaly on the right border of the map on the French side.

Hmmm…. I wonder of the maps are using the same elevation data? Or maybe the artefact is from the conversion process to a flat plane?
There is one of those in the middle of the Syria map (or Syria really does have a spectacular chasm I’d like to visit someday). And I’ve made a few chasms of my my own stitching together Ortho maps for X-Plane.

Yes, it’s the Canyon of the Crescent-Shaped Moon outside Alexandretta. Today it’s known as Iskenderun.
You can find out about it at the museum. Please follow me and I’ll escort you.
