There were multiple reasons to make the maps. An asteroid smashes into Mexico and millions of refugees are rushing to the southern states. What logistical implications to expect? New factories are being built in Ohio. Why? Soyuz crash-landed in Arizona. When US will get to it? US is moving Minutemen rockets from Memphis. Where to? Los Angeles is in riots. How will it affect SU? Somebody tasked with analyzing such intel would have to have maps. Maps are important and keeping mapmakers' skills sharp required a constant workload. Teaching fresh intel recruits about the US knowing they are never going to visit the US required maps. There were gazillion reasons to produce and maintain maps in the Soviet Union. And I am glad they did. I used to use Soviet military maps for hiking back in the day.
