Yeah people tend to get stuck in a rut with their favorite maps based on how good the close by resources are. I got so sick of playing large Deccan LOL. I liked the old Sonora map, it was good as it had so many hunts and mines but they were mainly in the middle of the map. I think texas was good for this too? Can't remember.

You misremember Texas. There were 3 hunts that you could sort of herd and maybe one patch of deer in the center and that was it. A lot of coin mid map though.
The main issue with Sonora was that often your first hunt was not even in TC LOS so searching for it was a game of luck.

I think Cascade Range and Tassili are good examples of good maps with low amount of resources in base.

Or sometimes you didn't really have hunting on old sonora, I remember a game of grunt on sonora that spent almost the whole game picking berries because there was no hunting around the tc or above the map, the legend tells that nevertheless grunt won the game
