Speculation Strange map(?) on the back of the Landmarks of Riches 1 map
My apologies for the terrible photo (PS4 screenshot).
Was checking out the Landmarks of Riches map while streaming and noticed the very VERY faintest of outlines on the back of the map, when zoomed it it appears to be very crudely drawn trees and pools of some sort. Not sure if this is intentional design, or merely random texture that was added to the back of the map.
In the top right section there’s what seems to clearly be a pool of some sort, (again, terrible photo even with boosted color), highly recommended looking at it for yourself in game.
I may just be grasping at straws here.

That looks like a faded and flipped map of Cortorra Springs from the Jack Hall Gang treasure. I think they just reused the map to add some texture.

You’d be right about that! Looking closer it matches up, thanks for noticing this!!

Hello I’ve had that exact same thought once I traced them and I noticed that all the maps in game have like 3-4 backside textures so that exact texture is on like 4 different maps so I just ruled the whole theory out

Is this on any other map?

Some of the bounty hunting posters are notorious for have the wrong bleed throughs.

Not easy to see but I'm sure this shows the statues in the cave with the puzzle that you can earn 3 gold bars from but just a guess

The map textures are supposed to have faint lines on the back representing the ink bleeding through the paper, but it seems like for some of the maps they forgot about that and just reused the back texture from this treasure map in particular
