    I'm with Ascension the edges of the map cry out to the heavens (yeah sounds corny I know - so sue me ), for somekind of treatment to "rough them up a bit" - coming along nicely though.

    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.
