My first impression of the map is that it is a zoom in of a larger map.
If you don't want to tear or burn the edges, you could put the map in a magnifying glass or callout.
Have you tried simplifying it? Take away the compass rose and put a spear through the skull and crossbones pointing north. Treat it like a tracing of a real map doctored with special info.

Bedwyr: I wish I came up with that style on my own, I found it here on the forums (over here), I couldn't even follow it entirely around the last parts, so I had to do some other stuff.
jfrazierjr, SG, Ascension: Hum, which tool should I use to do the mutilation?

Print it, take it outside, rub it in the dirt for a while, light a corner on fire, hold the edges in some smoke (or do the old tea-soak thing) then scan it in. Or just create a new layer with a bunch of jaggies around the edges and play with the layer styles like outer glow using a black set to color burn.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
