Exactly. Maps not viewable are not in the map folder

However, Osho still have a question of what's the reason behind it - concealing interior maps? :?:
IMO, the main reason behind it is something like an "Easter Egg Hunt" but you must search for unvisited places. Henceforth, makes the player an adventurer and the game more thrill and fun. :)
Your quest has been fulfilled! It's time for a nap.

Various reasons:

Map of an NPC's house is pointless
Map of outside Lodar's is to hide his location.
Early own caves pre-date the world map and I think Oskar was okay with preventing them from working to challenge the player. How the world map works is it sews together all of the individual maps.

Easter egg hunting in an open source game, and with an easy to use dictionary? ;)

Building interiors cannot fit in the worldmap. The worldmap shows the outside of the buildings. It cannot also show the inside, because where in the worldmap would we put them? To double down on that problem, the map inside a building is always twice the size of the outside, so it wouldn't fit in the worldmap anyway. Caves usually have their own map, but a single room cave would not. There's no point. The worldmap or cave maps are to give you an overview of where you are, but you don't need that in a building. At least, not yet. Maybe if we create a really big castle, for example, it might have an overview map.
