Dear Juergen,
in the sense that you quoted:
I agree that the rosettes illustration looks like a map. A map of processes or a map of the cosmos.
What I am not convinced of is that it is a map in the geographical sense.
I note a kind of parallel with the so-called 'spiral nebula' illustration on f68v3. The latter has the Earth in the centre, and eight 'connections' going out, whereas the rosettes page has (seems to have) the sky in the centre and eight connections that may be going out or coming in.
In both cases, four touch and four don't touch.
