Custom maps should be kept in a sub-directory of your EverQuest map directory. For example,
C:\users\public\Everquest\maps\Brewall's Maps
C:\users\public\Everquest\maps\Good's Maps
In-game, you switch between map folders via a dropdown in the top left corner of the map.
Brewall's maps are posted on their site, http://www.eqmaps.info
To get an idea of the care Brewall puts into mapping, look at the Map Comparisons here:

The map key is kept up-to-date here:
