The French passport background (and maybe other country one's) is a map with a very subtle red-grey centered linear color gradient. It's also crossed by many wave-formed lines.

I'm looking for tips in order to create a similar background with my city map.

Above a detail of what I'm talking about, but it's not exactly that: passport are made for not being photocopied. Maybe you can have a look of yours.

The name of the patterning you're looking for is Guilloche. Originally created by engravers of banknotes and stock certificates and such.

If you search online for Photoshop Guilloche filter or plugin you'll find a number of them. Some good, some bad, some free, some not.

You might also look for Mezzotint filters or plugins. (The mezzotint filter in PS is not very good for this.

Or you could search for Illustrator Guilloche vectors. Those are very nice, and being just vector lines you can change them easily.
