If I had to venture a guess, I'd say that, judging from the information in the article itself, these maps are not yet complete and therefore, not yet available to the general public. The article you linked to, implies that computers are still compiling all the data necessary for Mr. Gaskell to complete the specific projects/maps.

generators won't take it, the ship is breaking apart and all that. Just, FYI.
