Five questions:

1) What are the dimensions of the maps?

2) Is it acceptable to shoot them in many segments, or does the output
need to be a single image of the entire map?

3) What is the size of the smallest feature you need to preserve.  For
this purpose, consider the height of an upper case alphabetic character
that needs to be readable - what is the smallest size that needs to be
preserved? 1/10" high?  1/15"?  1/20"?  This is a critical dimension in
choosing a solution.

4) Are the maps fragile?  Are they bound in books, or can each sheet be
handled separately?

5) Are you allowed to bring the maps to your office, or do you have to
work with them where they are kept?  How much space are you permitted to
occupy?  A table?  A small room?

You'll be halfway home once you cobble up answers.  And making
suggestions will be a lot easier.
