In case it helps some wikis, we've created dumps of the map background images that were uploaded to each wiki - just send in a request to Special:Contact/general and we can give you a link.

It would be better to keep the Wikia Maps help page around and put this offer in there. However, I guess if admins search around they will run into this post.
