As a general rule in graphics design, ornate fonts should be relegated to large title text only. Find a readable slightly less ornate font for most of your labeling. And as Midgard suggests if the font is very small, you should be using a simple serif font, like Century Schoolbook. Serif fonts are easier to read than sans-serif fonts like Arial. Never use ornate fonts for general labeling or small text.

I dig it except for the mountains - they don't seem to fit with the trees.

Agreed, but I am such a sucker for that parchment style.

I like that old treasure map style!
In the North there are a bit too many mountains.
When labeling the forests and mountains, try using a thin outline (stroke) on the text rather than a blurry backdrop strip.

I make use of Wag's mountain brushes.
Here's the latest version
I redid the mountains. Personally, I think they are way cooler this way, though I appreciate any input.
I also worked on some outer glows, left them a little softer. I tried changing some to strokes, but that did not had as good of an effect for this map, IMO.
