You are not looking at a map from a file. OsmAnd is reading "map items"
from binary files. You are looking at many items in a binary file that are
rendered into a map on your screen.
If you have three normal maps covering the same area: one with POIs, one
with roads and one with "greenery", the items will be read from all 3 maps
(binary files containing "map" items), and all will be displayed on your
screen,  sometimes depending on the zoom level.
Another example: all country/region maps have a very limited overlap with
the next country/region. On the border "items" from both maps are rendered.

And then you have the options of the "normal" map and the underlay/overlay
maps that Bart mentioned.
