Away from such unpleasant partisanship, a simple seach on google would vividly show:
"الخرائط الرسمية" - returned 183 hits. http://www.google.com/search?hs=pQq&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&clien...
"الخرائط الحكومية" - returned 4 hits. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firef...
The term is used to describe maps issued by geographic institutions supported and funded by the government, assigned to all the 'mapping' activities.
In the US, USGS (United States Geological Survey) is in charge of such task. __ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USGS
Therefore, they are not just ordinary maps, Nagwan; they are specialized variety maps issued by specialized scientific agencies supported by the government.
