Mayan Empire would be misleading as a name, seeing as there was no single "Mayan Empire". "Maya" could work, it's just not very descriptive... I could consider it though. "Mayan Cities/Kingdoms" aren't entirely accurate either, they were more like city-states... and "Mayan City-states" would just be overly convoluted.

That sounds much better in my opinion.

Regarding the naming, maybe I missed it if somebody already posted this but some of the cities depicted here aren't even remotely Mayan, but all existed during what is called the Classic Era of Mesoamerican civilization. The Mayans never got up into the Valley of Mexico, for example. There's no perfect name for this map, as you can either be succinct or accurate. The most historically correct title might be "Mesoamerica: the Classic Era." It doesn't entirely suck.
