The point of evidence like this is that it is cumulative. The distinctly drawn distributed buildings and the illustration of water and the drawing of mountain slopes all together as well as other features which appear geographical, like the T/O map in the corner, add up to the idea that the page represents a map. I would be fascinated to see a medieval document that has these core geographical features and is not a map.
I suspect that the cause of the 3x3 large circle representation of the page is unique to this map, but there are a number of original maps of the period in Italy with their own unique features. Although, the representing of specific locations on circles we see on other maps.
The Rosettes causeways are reminiscent of Matthew Paris map from London to Jerusalem.
So, putting all the evidence together I am personally pretty confident that the page is a map. Ultimately time will tell when eventually the Voynich is deciphered what this page represents and who is right and who is wrong on this matter.
