Here's my proof that the new FR setting book is closer in spirit to the Old School Renaissance (OSR)
than its proponents or detractors (
) might care to admit.
It's also my gift to two unfortunately divided camps in the fandom of D&D - 4E'ers and OSR'ers.
Behold my gift of reconciliation:
Guys, if you like the map in the OP, I hope you'll also find the two supplementory PDFs I've now put up useful as well. They go with the map - though, frankly, what you do with the map (if anything) is totally up to you.
Rest of post copy-pasted from now updated OP.

UPDATE, March 16 2010: All Further Info to go with the Map now available for Download as PDF
I've collected all the official information on hex entries into a PDF, which you can download here:
Hex Reference for the map above - 4E Silver Marches
Further, on another forum I showed a scan of my (handwritten!) random encounter tables I use in conjunction with the above map, namely here. I have now made a neat layout of that which should be much more legible:
Random Encounter Tables for D&D 4E.
You still need to go to this link for instructions on how these tables work. In short, they don't give you individual monsters, but worked out 'encounter groups' which the tables reference by EL and (in parenthesis) page references to the MM1 or MM2 - so "3(19)" means 'EL 3 (check page 19 in MM 1)".
Other than that, Happy gaming!
