Advertisement on page 14 reproduces the "secret canyon" portion of
Dennis Donovan's 751-point map. (No non-350 locations are visible, but
it's obviously not the 350-point map documented in Jason Scott's
2008 blog post, and it's identical to that portion of the 751 map.)
Text of the advertisement:

  COME WITH ME TO COLOSSAL CAVE, WHERE MAGIC
  ABOUNDS AND TREASURE IS FOUND. BID YOUR
  FINGERS FOLLOW YOUR COMMANDS AND I WILL BE
  YOUR EYES AND HANDS. YET BEWARE THE FIERY
  DRAGON, FOR HE KNOWS NOT WHETHER YOU ARE
  WIZARD OR SIMPLE CHARLATAN! HOW BEST TO CON-
  QUER COLOSSAL CAVE? WITH DARING AND SKILL ...
  AND AN ADVENTURE GAME MAP, OH CLEVER KNAVE!
