Free Map 035: A Map Hand Out to Somewhere

This week's free map is a player-handout, which is a bit of a departure from my norm. One of my new weekly attempts has been creating some short Encounter Sets which I put up on DriveThruRPG. Since I've just started this the whole concept is still taking form and I've got two under my belt. An idea I've been working on could better be told as at least two Encounter Sets, so that's what I'm doing. The first will be something occurring on the way to the second, but I wanted to "set the hook" with some sort of lead-in.

This week, instead of releasing the 1st Encounter Set I'm going to go with an Adventure Tie-In (ie, "hook") that follows the same basic format. The hook could be an encounter, and even possibly a mini-adventure all on its own. It all begins with a map that the players must a) discover, b) acquire, and c) decipher. Of course what you do with the map is up to you, the Adventure Tie-In just gives a rough option on how to proceed. What is this a map to?
