If you actually own a physical map that was drawn up in 1690, I hope you have it insured, and keep it a secret. If it is a copy, there is still much intrinsic value, in admiring the Olde World methods of display and printing.
You are one who can appreciate the sublime perfection of that navigation method. I’ll bet you there are young men even in today’s Pokemon World who enjoy history, and would get a kick out of hearing you explain the way it has worked for so many hundreds of years.

Yes the map is insured, but the big time credentialed NY map dealer valued it, and in the next sentence told m that he’d buy it for eighty percent of his value - yet his drool was showing!
So I continue to believe that it’s worth a hell of a lot more than a Michael Jackson glove or sweaty Madonna bra!
