The first thing that came to my mind was to wonder if the permanent features (e.g. hills) resembled anything in the immediate area, or if the features are too general and could resemble just about anything. Rivers would likely have moved over this period of time, and flora obviously would not be a guide for anything there today.

Did you ever see a piece which appeared some years back in Pravda or Izvestia called The Map of the Creator? Very interesting map - much the same detail plus symbols like Chinese but not. Was supposed to be a fragment of a larger map depicting the entire Earth as seen from orbit. Extreme detail preserved under a silica coating if I remember correctly. Cause quite a stir, but other than a phone-in conversation with the professor (he found and publicized it) at his university, nothing further appeared.

Forgot to add “the map of the creator” was made before the ice age began. It was broken up by advancing glaciers. Also the fragment appeared to show numerous miles long and miles high dams. All of which were removed by the ice and the subsequent major ground upheals when the ice melted. Food for thought.
