Don't think there's anything strange about it.

Maps is just a pluralization that comes kinda naturally as historically people 
are used to needing more than one map to cover more than one area. The idea of 
a single map that covers the whole planet is relatively new and isn't something 
that is built into the english vocabulary so much.
