I love when games give their maps an interesting aesthetic that ties in thematically with the setting itself, rather than just having a pretty generic map.
One example that comes to mind for me is Ghost of Tsushima's map -- the black & white color scheme is very sleek, and is reminiscent of a watercolor painting, which reflects the setting nicely.
Another map that I think is pretty unique & cool is the one from Watch Dogs 2. It imitates a Google map (using the in-game equivalent, Nudle maps), which is a nice cohesive touch, especially given the game's focus on tech companies:
One last example off the top of my head would be the map we'll see in the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Valhalla. It looks like a worn piece of parchment that actually exists in the game world, which I think is cool:
