The VPN map for an L2VPN network shows (1) the VPN, (2) the Forwarders and PseudoWires that are members of the VPN, (3) the PE devices that host the Forwarders, and (4) the CE devices to which the Forwarders virtually connect.

As clarified in VPN map display for L2VPN when launched from different source objects, the actual display of a VPN map for an L2VPN network depends on the source object from which the map is launched.
