I see that you are not the only one long time user who has problems with maps. I have never managed to stitch any map in Hugin, while I stitch and straighten many photos every day. Even when the control points are placed correctly, the projection distorts every map. Even when the projection is corrected by vertical and horizontal lines, there are many other improvements (dedicated for photos) that make the final image erroneus. My plea to anybody who understands the methods of stitching flat documents and the GUI developer is to add "Flat document mode for beginners" to the main menu. Preparing Hugin for maps really requires a lot of work that could be accessible from the menu as a preset. Scanned paper maps are not computer graphics, they are always distorted by folded paper, scanner optical imperfection and photometric corrections performed by the scanning software. Some statistics is required, the similarity threshold optimized for high contrast and exposure correction not as sensitive as in photography. I can participate in the process by testing.
