The world map is the illustrated chart of the Maple World the game opens when a player wants to know where they are. It is drawn rather than generated: each region is a painted sheet with its towns and hunting grounds marked on it and named in a small label, and the places a player can reach are dots on that painting.
Four sheets exist. One covers Maple Island, one Victoria Island, and two cover Ossyria, the second of them zoomed in on the mountains above El Nath. Every region article carries its own sheet in the Region at a glance section, with each place on it linked to its article.

Reading it
A sheet is a picture of the region as it would look from above, not a diagram of how maps connect. Distances on it are artistic, and two places drawn side by side are not necessarily one portal apart. What it does show reliably is arrangement. On Victoria Island, Perion sits in the northern mountains, Kerning City on the western coast, Henesys in the southern plains, Lith Harbor on the south-west shore, Ellinia in the eastern forest, and Florina Beach off the south-east corner.
A place often stands for several maps at once. The marker on a town covers the town and the shop interiors inside it, which is why it reads simply "Henesys" rather than carrying one entry per shop.
Not everything painted on a sheet is a place you can follow. Sleepywood is drawn and labelled at the centre of Victoria Island, but the sheet records no marker there, so it is scenery rather than a destination. The maps around it, the Swamp of Despair and the Dangerous Croko fields, are marked normally.
