Yes, something as well as someone can be put on the map – or in other words, become famous, popular or well-known.  

Let's hear some examples, shall we?

Examples

Her first exhibition at the Tate gallery has put her on the map as a serious modern artist. .

This great tasting food has really put this new restaurant on the map.

Hosting the Olympics has put this city on the map as a great place to come for a holiday.

“To put someone/something on the map”的意思就是变得出名，受欢迎。I suppose it suggests that becoming famous means you are now important enough for your name to be seen or heard by everyone.
