The map would wear off overtime. It would be more a tool than than a traditional paper with things drawn on it. Some resources can move over the map (small animals or hostile NPCs) while others look the same until you try to harvest them, like those rocks Steven was cracking in one of the streams. Or could be hidden below the surface and without an exact indicator, finding them could be time consuming.

You are basically trying to turn Ashes a survival game, with really bad ideas we already know we will be able to have a mini map at all times, unless we disable it. Not having a mini map or making it depending on some system is a really bad idea, from survival games, that the majority of the mmorpg playerbase would hate. Intrepid also already talked about how will we see hidden resources, this will come from surveying in the gathering professions, nothing to do with the map so..
