Josh didn't die when he was 13. It says they were alive when they were put in the hole, and towards the end the narrator says this,

"She had tried so hard to protect me and was stronger than I would ever be. I tried not to think about the man and what he had done with Josh for more than two years."

So the stalker kidnapped Josh and kept him for more than 2 years. The clothes he was wearing when he died were too small because they were probably the same clothes he was kidnapped in, thus why the map was still on him. The stalker also dyed Josh's hair to resemble the narrator, so he could have had Josh keep the map in his pocket to complete his sick fasination with the narrator.
