Even if the gameplay doesn't take up a big space, you can create extra tiles and inaccessible/unimportant areas for aesthetic value. Also, try to, as script said, do more with less. Rather than have 3 gausses, see if you can cover the whole map with one. Obviously that won't work all the time, but there are plenty of instances where it will.
but I think this [nmaps.net] is a good example of what he's talking about.

this isn't what i would call
"minimalism."
a minimalistic map does a lot with a little; this is more like doing a little with a medium amount.
a good minimalistic map will still use a large area, and it won't be so cluttered.

but a map with both will probably look like it was hastily thrown together, as well as be uninteresting. No one (at least no one who's smart) has anything against minimalism, but a map isn't good just because it's minimal either.
Basically, quality and quantity are mutually exclusive.
