How do the names for the maps in Minecraft work?

Question

For my minecraft SMP server, my friends and I were crafting maps and noticed the difference in the names of the maps. so how does the map naming system work?

Example: Map_0, Map_1

Answer

The first map created is map_0, the second created is map_1, the third created is map_2, and so on, up to map_65535.
