Few modern maps use the compass rose. The pictures of dragons and clouds with faces blowing the wind and the elaborate compass rose with the four cardinal points and the intermediate points forming a rose-like blossom went out in the 1800s. Today, the map will probably have only an austere north arrow to help you orient the map to your course.
