I think it is the difference between a locale and an adventure.  Having
a locale like say Scorn or the Great Mire complete with special
circumstances (say the Great Mire has a few nasty critters, Scorn has no
magic...).  These areas are interesting, can have 'features' like shops
or bridges or packs of wolves or magic fountains or portals... and many
different adventures could take place in them.  On the other hand - with
the exception of a few islands or smallish structures (ruins, towns,
castles) most specific adventures should probably be off the map and
accessed via buildings or doors or invisible exits(lots of ways to play
with these, think of the old world maps). Of course there are probably
exceptions to this but generally if there is a multi-map area like a
forest or a desert or whatever then many specific adventures should be
able to coexist and utilize the area atmosphere.
