Pathfinder Flip-Mat: "Desert" [RPG]

 I got the opportunity to use the Desert flip-mat recently while running The Pact Stone Pyramid, and I think it's a mixed bag.  The sand texture is done well and the map is attractive overall.  The main issue is that both sides feature an oasis, which leaves a GM scratching his head for how to have a desert encounter where water is *not* present.  In addition, one side has a big sphinx with stairs leading into it, meaning that that side can only be used a limited number of times before players wonder why the desert has so many sphinxes! (Not to mention, a GM then has to figure out what's inside each sphinx) I think often the designers of these flip-mats think first of visual impact, and last about replayability, when it's usually replayability that makes a good flip-mat for me.
