The United Federation of Planets straddles the line between the Alpha and Beta quadrant. They are about 50/50 on either side. In fact the line runs right through the Sol system so half the year we Earthers are in the Alpha quadrant and the other half we're in the Beta quadrant.
So which was is the Delta quadrant in that image? Also, where does the other end of the wormhole pop out?
The Delta Quadrants is not featured in that image, only the lower two quarters. Putting into context, that map is the lower blob in this:
The Alpha-Beta blob should be shifted down a bit, and possibly shrunk. Earth is significantly closer to the galactic rim, on that arm that currently goes across the southern edge of the Alpha-Beta blob.
