If the two maps aren't consistent, but both of them are authentic, then we must interpret that the they represent different entities of Remnant. Which one is a continent map? Which one is a world map?

Also, Devil, 'what brings you down here' is probably just a figure of speech. Imagine using that phrasing in real life - unless there's real elavation of the ground (one at the mountains and the other on the ground, then yes, you say, 'what brings you up here') or status (say, Atlas is a more advanced/high class/important/powerful kingdom as compared to Vytal), normally, you use 'down here' as a way of humble speech.

We can interpret Ozpin speech in two ways: One, he's being humble. Two, Atlas is a more powerful kingdom than Vytal, and thus it is a way of saying that Ironwood had come down from the top for whatever reason to visit him. But it most definitely does not mean that Atlas is at the North (whether it actually is North is irrelevant, the interpretation is wrong in the first place), because technically speaking, the North can also be the South. You know, the polar axis and such. There's no real 'up and down' 'left or right' and we talk North, South, East and West.
