I think you might want to consider sending them to http://PGDP.net
that way you will get them proofed as well. But it's really hard to
proof maps in their current interface. If you have a large amount of
maps (300 more) to be scanned it might be worth it to write an
interface for it.

Finereader, which was (ca 2003) the OCR of choice at PGDP, has the
functionality to give you x,y pixel values of the OCR:ed text. But you
need lots of glue to use it.
