Example page doesn't work with IE8 - no maps at all. In Firefox, it loads after more than a minute. You should use 1 map. Why have the user scroll around to see the different maps? Have your sidebar list the different locations currently represented by your many maps and don't load the markers for a location until the user selects that location.
