I'm an idiot and instead of deleting this to hide my shame, i'll keep it here for anyone else having a similar texture issue later down the line. I have fixed my map/minimap problem :)
I am enjoying the heck out of this map, I finally got it to load proper on a local save and it's been a blast to run around in :) 12/10, am enjoying immensely :)
My only issue is the map textures for the Map and Minimap - the yellow/golden color you use for the map shows up striped and the stripes change size and width when zooming in or out. Is there a way to fix that? Or to remove that and view the map with the OG Valheim biome textures?
*Edit* - seems there's something going on on my end with the map textures - my map doesn't look like the map pictured here with your pictures. It might be because i have Panoc's HD Map installed and I will do some testing to see if it's that; it's the only mod I have that messes with map textures. (insert - no, no it wasn't.) I'll link a gyazo screenshot of the messed up map here so you can see what I mean.
*Edit 2* - It was not Panoc's HD. Not sure what's causing the yellow areas that aren't Plains. With Panoc's HD installed : https://i.gyazo.com/b9a83b9e9c481d44a49697729604e902.jpg

I downloaded this map yesterday, the 9th, and Jere uploaded a new version of BetterContinents yesterday as well - could that be it? Other than the annoyance of random yellow striping patches on my map/minimap, the world is fun to run around in.
** Some of the locations have spawned weird - Draugr Villages with half the buildings 20ft up and the other half 'ground' level with your path splitting between, Black Forest towers half in the ground or Swamp biome chunks missing all of it's big unbreakable trees - I can deal with that, it's just me and my kid running around and she's more interested in exploring and murder than the 'immersion' breaking things hahaha. **
*Edit 3* - Figured it out, it was another mod I forgot messed with textures - Shundal's "Seasons" (https://thunderstore.io/c/valheim/p/shudnal/Seasons/) - it's basically a game-wide recoloring during the seasons with buffs and debuffs depending on the season. It seems the Spring season adds those yellow spots to the Meadows for 'flowering' areas. Once it was disabled, the map/minimap showed up perfectly proper :)
I have spent my entire day yesterday just following roads, this is the most beautiful and detailed custom maps I have ever seen, even outshining SanctuaryWorld and Nordheim! The existing road network almost makes me want to build an entire small kingdom in there, such a magnificent addition, kudos!
Making roads has been tough until I found an efficient way to make them correctly leveled into the heightmap..! I'm happy with the road result and I too find them fun to use and explore!
I will surely implement some in future maps, and maybe other maps updates...
If you use r2 you can install Better Continents in your profile folder, in the BepInEx>plugins folder.
The Steam Cloud not working with BC is about the world saves and backups. Using Cloud saves will bug out the backups and possibly the main saves of the custom world.

Guess I'm the first person to download and comment....I plan on using this for co-op survival, are all the boss locations working normally? Could I progress like normal in vanilla valheim on this world?
All bosses are there, spread on the map, and they work as in any vanilla maps! But it is not an easy map. As I suggested, a horse mod is nice for faster traveling on the roads, or at least UsefulPaths mod to set faster run speed on paved and trails!
