I recently got an old game back from a computer the motherboard went bad, played this game for close to 10 years, the issue I’m having is a have a Huge room for a Huge map but all the maps are blank now. Is there anyway I could get some help restoring the maps? This is a straight survival game and the amount of mining and exploring to get this map is crazy and I would hate to lose all of it. i can send a copy of the game or anything else that I can give to you to help me out.

What version was the world originally created in? Do you have a backup available?

Try this:
Make a backup of the world to a safe, exteral HDD (not flash memory).
Look through the data files.
Accroding to the Minecraft wiki:
“Maps do not store their information in the item; instead, they save a map number in the minecraft:map_id component that corresponds to the map number (ID) of a saved file. Their information is placed in the "data" directory within the world's save directory.
In Java Edition each map has its own file associated with its ID, and there is one file that keeps track of the highest (most recently created) map ID.“
Maybe the filenames got screwed up?
Maps are acting kinda broken in general recently.
