grid map: (cartografia) reticolato, reticolo
index map: (cartografia) index map, quadro d'unione

Here are a couple links for grid map definition:
http://en.mimi.hu/gis/grid.html
http://www.map-reading.com/ch4-3.php

though I can't seem to find a site with the definition of index map, below are a few images which can give yo an idea of the difference.

A few images of each type:
http://scsn.seis.sc.edu/html/indexmap2.html# (index map)

http://images.google.it/images?q=index map&hl=it&lr=&sa=N&ta... (index maps)

http://images.google.it/images?svnum=10&hl=it&lr=&q=grid map (grid maps)

IN any case I still confirm the answer to your request is index map, because the dictionary clearly translates it as quadro d'unione, whilst I can't seem to find grid map for the same term.

I hope this helps in some way :)

map sheet to copy the grid square map on, it just makes perfect sense to me in the context, it's probably some map that is part of the documentation

I'm really not sure, just looking at the google images, Index Maps seems to be the broader term and they are not always grid square maps, while all the "quadri di unione" seem to be in grid squares, so I just believed this is the English translation.

Notes to answerer
Asker: So what would be the difference between an index map and a grid square map? Do you have any references on this?
