A star map projects constellations in a easy to understand 2D projection. It is difficult to map out the stars because it is a vast 3D world with large distances between stars. This map was made to show what and where constellations would be visible at a certain time and place in the year. If that information wasn't given the map would not be accurate for every place and time.
