• An undulating horizontal line cuts across the bottom of the composition. This may indicate a river or a trail.
• Below this line, to the left, is a "toaster-like" rectangular sign, above it is a cross in parentheses (†).
• Below this undulating line is an arrow pointing upward to the start of a winding trail that is evenly punctuated by markers (?).
• Below the "river/trail" line is a series of jagged lines which may represent mountains, hills, canyons, or other terrain features. Within this collection of jagged lines is what looks like an equation: 2=3-O-18=7.
• Above the "river/trail" line is another series of jagged lines, and distributed among these jagged lines are an assortment of letters and numbers: a number 3, two Xs, an upside-down 4, a sideways 8, and what may be an enlarged F. These figures almost appear to be "white noise" added to the map make it appear more complex and to possibly confuse the reader.
• In the upper portion of the stone, near the midline, is a large deep hole. Its purpose is unclear.
• When the Trail Stone is placed below the Heart Stone (with the Stone Heart in place), a more extensive (and perhaps complete) map is formed - displaying the head of the trail near a building marked with a cross, a trail with 18 evenly-spaced markers, and the end of the trail marked with a O which is next to a land feature marked with a Ω.
• And finally, the back of the Trail Map has the large letters D O N carved into it.

You mentioned the name "Pedro" is written on the horse's side as shown on the horse map. This comment is frequently heard among the those who study the maps. The actual word is "pedico", meaning belonging to a beloved child (Atocha). See Latin, Greek, German, Portugese as meaning shoe or hoof. See left rear hoof of horse and you will recognize an anchor (double hook type).
