I believe what Hellrazor is saying is, currently, you enter upper left coords then lower right coords to copy a section of map. This gives you a rectangular section with everything within that rectangle copied.
What he'd like to do is be able to select any shape area he wants, maybe circular or oblong or any multi-angled section and copy it to past it over to another map.

Exactly, just like a paint program's selection mode. Zoom out, turn on "select" mode, get a visual lasso that you can shape any way you like, use it to define the area you wish to cut or copy.
If you had something like this, you could more easily create an entire map from pieces from other maps. You could fit islands into tight areas like coves that you can't otherwise do (because a box would overwrite portions of the surrounding land).
Maybe allow the user to cursor around tha map, with each mouse click creating the boundry for the next corner, until you have circled all the way around.
