 As to the Marauders Map... I think it only shows what the 
Manufacturers knew were on the grounds...They found the secret 
tunnels, so they were able to put them in... They didn't know about 
the whereabouts of the CoS so it was left off.  (which means they were
 definitely active during their years at Hogwarts!)

But if the map showed Voldemart as Riddle would they
 be able to put it together? Would they even care? 
 Same with Pettigrew... would the twins know every
 pupil in the school?  When they were using the map
 they were using it for mischief... Looking for
 passageways clear of teachers, or anyone else... Not
 necessarily using it to spy. If they saw the names
 they didn't recognize in the corridors it probably
 would be, "Who's Pettigrew?"  "I think he's the snotty
 first year at Hufflepuff's.  Always sits near
 Diggory."  "No, don't think so..." "Who cares, he's
 out of the corridor now..."

 Just one of the mysteries of Dumbledore... He seems to
 know a lot what is going on, but doesn't let out what
 he knows.

 I think they would have made a copy, but then, they
 may have decided sneaking around in night is kid-stuff
 and they are now into the more serious business of
 their joke shop items.  I don't think they're not
 bright, but it's tunnel vision when it comes to their
 own fun and causes.
