It's a map. It shows a location. It is hand drawn and coloured in by coloured pencil. It looks like a child (or an idiot drew it). That's not going to help you though. I guess it's part of a puzzle that looking at the other page might help you solve.

An open book. On the left is a map of... somewhere. On the right seems to be some sort of puzzle that needs solving.

Yup, it's a clue of some sort. In this case, it is a poem:

"A Stone's throw betwixt Gibraltar and California, you need to start near
In the days of domes -- a pepper seller -- one of 162 lived here
Third in line toward the setting sun something there did sit
What writ in plain old English is carved right there up on it?"

Work that out and refer to the map and maybe... maybe, you can solve it. — Yup, it's a clue of some sort.

How the Disappearance of Flight 19, a Navy Squadron Lost in 1945, Fueled the Legend of the Bermuda Triangle

Eighty years ago, five planes vanished during a training run off the Florida coast. A patrol plane sent to search for the men went missing, too, giving rise to a host of conspiracy theories

I am reading a trad-pubbed mystery that keeps talking about this "articulated skeleton" as if that's a normal decomposition process and I am so confused.

The only type of articulated skeleton I've ever heard of is where the bones are held together with pins and wires to approximate where they would be in a body.

I feel like an actual editor would have flagged this immediately, so maybe there's an alternate use of the word?

"'Danger is part of my trade,' I remarked.”

"'That is not danger,' said he. 'It is inevitable destruction. You stand in the way not merely of an individual, but of a mighty organization, the full extent of which you, with all your cleverness, have been unable to realize. You must stand clear, Mr. Holmes, or be trodden under foot.'”

“But in calling Moriarty a criminal you are uttering libel in the eyes of the law — and there lie the glory and the wonder of it! The greatest schemer of all time, the organizer of every deviltry, the controlling brain of the underworld, a brain which might have made or marred the destiny of nations — that's the man! But so aloof is he from general suspicion, so immune from criticism, so admirable in his management and self-effacement, that for those very words that you have uttered he could hale you to a court and emerge with your year's pension as a solatium for his wounded character.”
