My impression is that something is Unplottable, no one can map it,
Muggle or wizard. Reasons I got this impression:
In GoF, Hermione points out that all the wizard schools are
Unplottable.
Karkaroff upbraids Krum for revealing too much about Durmstrang,
which would reveal its secret location.
There doesn't seem to be a clear idea of where Beauxbatons is
located, either. (As the endless debate on HP4GU indicates!)
In Fantastic Beasts (p. xix), whole islands or forests are
unplottable to protect HUMANS from dangerous magical creatures. As
wizards are as susceptible to dangerous creatures as Muggles
(dragons, Quintapeds), this would be protection for them, too.
