Yes, I certainly did--that's because some Districts of Athkatla use portions of other districts to fill in unused portions of their map, so the Area Map doesn't look so empty. This can lead to some really strange vistas: Stand on the walkway in the southwest part of the Government District. Apparently, there's this weird kind of cliff, and you seem to be floating above part of the Bridge District.

Parts of the Slums District are "recycled" in the same manner, as background in 2 of the corners of the Temple District. What I found noteworthy is that in the Northwest corner of the Temple District, BioWare used a screenshot of the Slums with the Sewer Gate left open, which naturally made for a good trivia question.
