I’ve been gone from the game a while, and never really paid much attention to points given their once useless nature when I last played much a few months ago. Though naturally being not too far from 2500 I want stuffs.
Among my nearest to completion achievements is Shiverpeek Explorer, I explored every last place long ago and went to every single region to find nothing missing.
I am now left with 170/175 with no 5 too make it 175/175.

Shove this to a more appropriate place at your discretion.
That map is zoomed out way too far to get any useful information out of it. Any zoom level above 2 is basically useless for determining if you have uncovered an area yet.
Explorer is also unrelated to map completion. It is entirely possible to have 100% world completion and still missing various explorer titles.

I know… the point is I have everything listed and have been to every noted point on the map in the Shiverpeaks; hearts, points of interest, ect. Anything that for some reason isn’t counted on the side of the map isn’t something I have the slightest inclination of.
Explorer achievements are for the unfogging of the map. There are areas on the map that don’t have POIs, hearts, or vistas, yet have distinct map areas. Once you’ve visited all of them, you then get the achievement. The only way to ‘cheat’ this is to look at a completely unfogged map and compare it to yours, seeing which small named areas are missing.
From your zoomed out map, try Griffonrook Run as one area you haven’t been to – looks like it’s still fogged, but that could be your zoom level.

I actually had 174/175 for a very long time. (With 100% world completion) I finally decided to explore a bit today, to try and strike that last one off my ‘almost’ achievements category.
Turns out I was missing Lair of the Coil. 175/175 and got my achievement points this morning – so it’s definitely not bugged.
If you’re having difficulty finding those last five, I suggest you take a look at jump puzzles and a detailed look at completed maps online. Look for any missing text (named areas) and any areas covered in fog of war.

as stated; hearts, poi’s, vista’s, renown hearts, skillpoints, have nothing to do with this achievement. The achievement is for unfogging every area in the map. This includes area’s that does not have skillpoints, poi’s, vista’s, etc that count for mapcompletion.
But having it all does help you. You are looking for area’s in the map that don’t have things needed for map completion. So places like griffonhook run (only a jumping puzzle) or forsaken halls (only a mini dungeon) are the kind of places you are looking for.

This would have been oh so sightly good to know… guess its time to spend the next hours wandering around the edges of the map.
Edit
Given that this post exists I may as well toss a few screenies of spots I’m suspect are what I need but elude me. Like this place in Snowden Drifts that practically protrudes into what I know as explorable.
…and this other place that’s sealed off by a door of some sort.
That’s a guild puzzle area (accessible while the puzzle is active from the contested WP in that screenshot). Not sure if it counts towards the achieve or not.

In the second image you’re missing the area to the south (you can see where the entrance is just west of the WP in the bottom right corner) and tribulation caverns… the caverns are accessed near the vista at the top of tribulation rift scaffolding.
Also check timberline falls, near the south-east corner. Lair of the Coil and Tail of the Serpent are easy to miss down there.
You can get the map area unfogged by just walking right up against it, IINM. But either way you should be able to get the achievement without it, I think.

I can see from your map and tell you already that you are missing the top right corner of dredgehaunt cliffs.
