Castle - small castle - castle - river - split:

That's its structure, it's variable. But in the VM, there's a strong overarching structure of nine circles, connected in a structured manner.
Both appear schematic, that is true. But the strip map makes the scheme follow the variability of the routes, while in the VM everything is presented in what appears to be a much more symbolic diagram.
And while the VM foldout's structure is less varied, its contents is more so.
It is certainly not exactly the same, but I gave it in part as an idea of what I think the causeways on the rosettes page are like. As I have said I think the individual circles represent locations, except for the central circle. The top right circle looks like the map of a city in it's own right. I think the bottom left circle and the bottom right circle look like illustrations of locations. In my opinion the central side circles symbolise locations or more accurately contain illustrations associated with locations such as a rose window or a ceiling. The top left circle is always annoying as in the circle there is so little detail, just a ring of crescent moons. I think the central circle is in some sense symbolic as I don't think it represents a geographical location. So I think some things are symbolic, but I think a lot is not.
