No such entity exist as Russian Space Agency's 
topographic division. AFAIK, of course.

And maps they use in planning of launches and landings
are just the regular topographic maps of the Russian
General Staff.

One good unclassified map of the Baykonur area was produced
in 2005 at the 50th anniversary of the NIIP-5. Don't have 
it in hands today so can't say who issued it.
