Currently (spring version 0.74b3) spring supports 2 map formats: SMF and SM3.
SMF format is older and most maps are still in that format. SM3 is a newer and a better format, but there's not so many maps available yet in this format.

All spring maps can be found on Unknown Files. There, you can either browse the map list, or just type part of the map name to the Quick Search editbox on the right. Ok, forget browsing, Quick Search owns.
Before UF the de facto filehost for spring maps was FileUniverse, but you don't need to care about it anymore.

Map Making Guild: That weird fish aGorm set up a clan for poor mappers that can't get into a clan on there gaming merit... (Mainly for himself therefor...)
TIPS:
A useful tip, on almost every map in a 1v1 you will start opposite your opponent unless you choose your position. this is because random order simply randomly distributes players at the default start points which in almost every map are opposite each other. One exception that I know of is flooded desert where you both start on the left hand island.
