The new map names introduced in 26.3 Snapshot 7 are way too long even for English itself, with Woodland Mansion Explorer Map being 29 characters long and Windswept Forest Abandoned Camp Map being 35, which reminds of the Lightly Weathered Cut Copper Stairs situation.
This makes them also hard to translate, considering that English and Germanic languages usually have shorter names, while Romance, Slavic and very many other languages use longer names.
Some examples from other languages
Brazilian Portuguese, abandoned campsite maps
Mapa de Acampamento Abandonado da Floresta Salpicada
Mapa de Acampamento Abandonado da Floresta de Bétulas
Mapa de Acampamento Abandonado da Floresta das Ventanias
Italian, abandoned campsite maps (possible names)
Mappa dell’accampamento abbandonato del boschetto di ciliegi
Mappa dell’accampamento abbandonato della foresta di betulle
Italian, explorer maps (possible names)
Mappa dell'esploratore di piramidi della giungla
Mappa dell’esploratore di magioni della foresta
Proposed fixes
Remove Explorer from all map names and IDs.
Add a new field such as Biome: Windswept Forest in the abandoned campsite map tooltips and change them all to be named Abandoned Campsite Map.

Custom and legacy, and a bit of common sense. Using an anvil you can rename items up to 30 characters on Bedrock and 50 on Java. Everything over 30 characters should ideally be avoided, otherwise you'd be able to rename a vanilla item while not being able to then give it its original name back.
Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Stairs is 35 characters long and it's already over the Bedrock limit, in Italian it's 38 (Statua di golem di rame corroso cerato), in Brazilian Portuguese it's 45 (Estátua de Golem de Cobre Desgastado Encerado), almost hitting the Java limit.
Keeping 30 as a general threshold and breaking it only for very specific variants is what the game has done for pretty much all of its recent development. I think they're going to change most of yesterday's strings anyway, because some are comically long even for English-speaking players, so while we're at it I reported it.

The lingering turtle potion is 37 characters. If a campsite map was longer than that, maybe it would be the case.
Assuming the Windswept Forest Abandoned Campsite Map’s name was truncated, it would have been 39 characters long. Another fix might be to name those maps Abandoned Windswept Forest Map.
EDIT: oops I am wrong and don’t know what I’m talking about 😄
