Hakim,
The negative value in the legend is supposed to be used to distinguish the
null value background (and waterbody) from real values. However, I'm a
little bit puzzled why it shows up in the middle of your map, and I cannot
replicate your results on my computer -- I attached the city number of jobs
indicator I created for eugene 1982, and I used this indicator
specification:

    Map(
        attribute =
'numer_of_jobs=city.aggregate(urbansim.gridcell.number_of_jobs)',
        #scale = [1, 60000],
        dataset_name = 'city',
        source_data = source_data,
        ),

BTW, you can try add a scale argument to the matplotlib Map indicator:
"scale = [1, 60000]" and if it helps.

Liming.
