A treasure map is an item is used to locate a treasure chest. It cannot be dropped, traded, or put in vending machines and chests.
Obtaining
Interacting
If the player interacts with Davey when he comes to the player's island without having a treasure map in their inventory, the player may accept a free treasure map from him.
Purchasing
Treasure maps can be purchased from Davey for 120 doubloons each on Pirate Island if the player does not have a treasure map in their inventory.
Usage
Locating
Holding a treasure map will reveal a map of an island with a red 'X' located in a randomized location, indicating a hidden treasure chest. Once the player has dug up the treasure chest, the map will disappear from the player's inventory.
Each treasure map only locates one treasure chest and only one treasure map can be used per day.

Trivia
- Before the Halloween 2021 event, the bird's-eye view resembled the Hub during the Patrick Star event despite the event having already ended.
- There was a bug where if the player has two or more treasure maps in their inventory at once, only one of the treasure maps is usable and all other treasure maps that existed during the time will permanently be unusable.
- This was fixed in the December 10, 2021 update.
- From October 18, 2021 to October 25, 2021, the green dot representing the player was set at an offset, meaning that it had incorrectly shown the player's location. However, the location of the buried treasure chest marked by the red 'X' was still accurate in accordance to the surrounding terrain.
- Prior to April 29, 2022, the red 'X' on the Maple Isles treasure map was off-scale as the map of the isles itself was horizontally compressed.
