Where shadow falls

    I started to wonder about something as I am looking through a big book of old Scandinavian maps. I haven't really noticed it before nor took note of it but is there a rule as to where the shadows of the trees or mountains would be?

    I am unsure if it applies to all maps but the ones I've seen on the book, the shadows fall to the right side as if the light source was from the left. Is there any special reason for this?
