I always indicate "Map of such-and-such," unless the
caption explains what it's a map of. If the location
of places is important to the story, in order to give
people a sense of dirction and distance, I try to
explain, but that's usually iin children's stories.
For an example, download Shawneen. I think I did
something similar with a map in Ivan Doig's English
