If I lived in the village, I wouldn't need a map for anything, because I would know.
If I lived in the village, I'm damned if I would leave a map telling where and how many.
If I did want to leave a map of where and how many, I wouldn't write in in stone. I would use wood as I could correct the information as it changed (As it would)
And on and on.
Like i said you wouldn't just stroll into a village back then, you'd have to have permission of living people and the spirits/ancestors, and the places to do the asking.
If I was talking to the spirits and ancestors, I wouldn't need any map.
The idea of a map is redundant in my mind.
I can see only one application and its not one that you have mentioned.
Instead of putting other peoples opinions down, how about something that you think [when you do it's normally sense], what do you think rock arts for if anything?
