Can anyone help with information on this or threads to read .
Microsoft does not permit the distribution of player-made content, including maps. This is a restriction they enforce on the XBox 360 platform, not something specific to Minecraft. This forum does not allow discussion of how to circumvent such restrictions.
I can do no better than to copy Chimeratech's excellent post:
Since mod downloads for the Xbox platform would violate the following part of the terms of service, they are not allowed, nor will they ever be on the Minecraft Forums
