i went and did some snooping around since i had the issue of not finding a treasure map pickpocketing maiq the liar, checked in tes5edit and it places the map inside Elsweyr(test cell, with console command: coc elsweyr) which i went into and found the map lying near the corner.
was this an oversight? or was maiq supposed to pick up the map whenever he was inside this cell? honestly don't know but atleast that's a workable thing.
thankfully haven't have missing maps on chest's so far, but i won't push my luck.
step's taken during this whole thing: find maiq randomly in skyrim, pickpocket only to find nothing, open console and click on maiq so you can get his id ( using mfgconsole, forgot how things look unmodded) so you can use a 'player.moveto *ID*' so you can get back to where you were, type in the console 'coc elsweyr' to get to the map which is near a corner on the floor, use the player.moveto to get back to maiq and continue where you left off.
that's about it, kinda odd how the map is just around the test cell, and no one's tinkered around to find it since this problem popped up.
hopefully this helps the other's who had and might encounter problems with maiq's map, if they're still here :v
good luck with the hunt!
