Marauder's Map and Sirius's "usefulness"

[Freeman, Louise Margaret]

I've wondered why, when Sirius was hangin aroun 12 Grimmauld feeling so 
helpless in OOTP, Dumbledore didn't assign him to try to create more 
Marauder's-style maps of Hogwarts or other key locations (Ministry of Magic, 
Hogsmeade?).  Or, for that matter, why not have him assist some other Order 
members in becoming Animagi? It seems like both would have been useful 
weapons in the fight against Voldemort.
