yes, one of the Mauraders was caught with it, but Finch never figured 
out how to activate it, so didn't notice the loss when the twins 
stole it.

I think Remus said something about this *search the book*. Yes, in 
POA:

 "I happen to know that this map was confiscated by Mr Filch many 
years ago"

Ok, it don't say exactly that its' from a Marauder, but it seem very 
probable.

They're there, hidden by Draco:

(after his sorting) "Malfoy went to join his friends Crabbe and 
Goyle, looking pleased with himself."
