Dude I don't know how you got to see the actual landscapes but I found those files in a minimap folder on one of the MPQs and assembled them all together to get a huge map.
If there's ANYTHING I can do to help you get this releasable to the public PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Once I saw the entire thing assembled I was like "Damn, I wish I could actually see these places."

The development map has been in the retail MPQs for years now, I used to - at least tried to/thought I would - find some Blizzard's future zone plans by combining them with WoWMapper(2).

I don't think the actual map files (ADTs) are included in the MPQs as I previously mentioned (believe me I've looked through the stuff a million times )

Yes, minimaps get pushed again and again. The ADTs of this exploration never have been in release builds though. Same goes for the pm4 files. They also will most likely never be pushed in retail client patches.
