"ihirang" has an official connotation: "designated"; "ilagay" doesn't; "isamapa" connotes a mechanical act. so your choice depends on what tone you want to convey.

Note from asker:
| I think this is a very far translation. The document shows maps where schools are located and explaining where the students live. Therefore it's talks about where to place the students on the map. When they give their complete details... they become "mappable". Thanks. |

Judy Almodovar
: I agree w/ you and I understand what you mean but maybe at this way would be much better;maprotektahan sila/makaiwas sila. Di ba "to map them against nga".

: The use of "against" does not connote protection from or avoiding something. It is just an expression used when something is plotted on a physical map or graph, like saying, "plot the number of so-and-so AGAINST the date on the table.
