I've struggled with the same sort of problem over the years, of building something for print from digital data in a reusable way. Maybe reusable isn't unnecessary for your project, but another big piece for mine was maintaining and displaying the correct scales. In the end, it made the most sense (for us) to simply build an online Mapping system with all the data and send in the combinations needed as Web queries to build each page. There are a multitude of tools available for web call automation.

I neglected to mention the use for the distribution maps. They will be used in a print brochure. A page mock up can be seen here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ktn5quT6s6SRwrzBA The USA distribution map in the mock up was made in Qgis using the information from: https://plants.usda.gov/home/plantProfile?symbol=BODI2 This is interactive and will display down to the state and county level. However, they are not up to date at the state/county level. If they were I would simply make a screen shot and that would be the end of it. The state distribution map used in the mock up was made using Qgis based on data from the West Virginia University Herbarium which has the most up to date information on distribution.
