Make the parent div width the same as the children - html

Question

I made this layout that seems to work, the only problem is that I would like that all che filled div are centered.
There are three possible "states":
the cyan element is to the left of all the others
the gold and pink elements are on two columns
all elements are on a single column.
What I want:
In the first case, everything is centered and it works, in the other two it doesn't: the elements are always aligned to the left.
To center I was thinking of using margin: 0 auto but it seems the divs are bigger than their content even if I used inline-flex (look at the grey area during state #3 in the running example). Why?
How can I solve?
.container {
outline: 1px solid black;
max-width: 490px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.columns {
outline: 1px solid black;
display: inline-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.map {
background-color: cyan;
width: 150px;
min-width: 150px;
height: 150px;
min-height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.content {
outline: 1px solid black;
background-color: lightgray;
max-width: 320px;
}
.cards {
outline: 1px solid black;
display: inline-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.card {
background-color: pink;
outline: 1px solid black;
width: 150px;
height: 70px;
display: inline-block;
}
.card.left {
margin-right: 20px;
}
.texts {
outline: 1px solid black;
display: inline-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.text {
background-color: gold;
outline: 1px solid black;
width: 150px;
height: 200px;
display: inline-block;
}
.text.left {
margin-right: 20px;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="columns">
<div class="map"></div>
<div class="content">
<div class="cards">
<div class="card left">card #1</div>
<div class="card">card #2</div>
<div class="card left">card #3</div>
<div class="card">card #4</div>
</div>
<div class="texts">
<div class="text left">text #1</div>
<div class="text">text #2</div>

use media queries in the proper way and here you go, to play with it find this fiddle link, try to resize the result window.
.container {
max-width: 490px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.columns {
display: inline-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.map {
background-color: cyan;
width: 150px;
min-width: 150px;
height: 150px;
min-height: 150px;
margin-right: 20px;
}
.content {
background-color: lightgray;
max-width: 320px;
}
.cards {
display: inline-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.card {
background-color: pink;
width: 150px;
height: 70px;
display: inline-block;
}
.card.left {
margin-right: 20px;
}
.texts {
display: inline-flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.text {
background-color: gold;
width: 150px;
height: 200px;
display: inline-block;
}
.text.left {
margin-right: 20px;
}
#media(max-width: 520px){
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.columns {
display: inline-block;
}
}
#media(max-width: 352px){
.container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.map {margin-right: 0;}
.content {
max-width: min-content;
}
.card.left {
margin-right: 0px;
}
.text.left {
margin-right: 0px;
}
}
