Looks like a scan, if possible rescan with a dark card background rather than the scanner white cover. You probably found that the usual fuzzy / color select does not work too well, neither does making a mask using threshold. Back to bad-old-ways using the image in indexed mode. Does not work with all images but will with your map.
