One-Eyed Willy's map is the map that led to his treasure and his ship, The Inferno. Irving Walsh had it kept framed in his attic, apparently as one of the rejected items from his museum.

Dating back to the 17th century, One-Eyed Willy's map comes paired with a doubloon, meant to be used in conjunction with Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach. The entire map is covered in notes and riddles written in Spanish; on the back is a series of musical notes meant to be played on a piano of sorts. It is intended to be folded up to form certain hidden parts of the map.

The map was designed specifically with MAD Magazine in mind, taking inspiration from the magazines' fold-ins. Production designer J. Michael Riva personally aged the map, using mink oil to darken the paper and a Bunsen burner to burn the edges.

Aging the Map

 

Krylon stained glass paint Baked for about 10 minutes to bring it to a golden brown... LOL, not really. I found that although it did age the paper, it didn't age it very much. I ended up using a special paint. It's specifically used to apply an orange tint to glass causing it to look antique. This did an excellent job in aging the paper. I found that it strengthened the paper too. As for burning the edge of the paper, this process didn't blacken it as I hoped. A little flat black spray paint around the edges really pulled it off though.
