Also worth considering is that there's been a couple of Calamities since the Allagans (including the one that ended the Allagans). While Bahamut's pansy rampage may have colored our expectations a bit, Calamities are SUPPOSED to be pretty serious affairs, and may have actually caused some significant changes to the world map. Allagan maps may now be too wildly inaccurate to be useful.

Allagan maps may be a common collector's item - and utterly useless for any practical purpose. So, no one bothers to mention them. Rowena probably has a few stashed away.
