Is it possible to get lost in the North Star Corn Maze?

Those entering the maze are given a map as well as a flag to wave if they are in need of assistance. There are maze masters who stand on a tower in the center of the maze who can verbally direct mazers from the tower or who will send in guides on the ground to locate lost mazers and get them back on track.
