There are plenty available. The airport tourist information counter has a high number of excellent maps of Prague and the public transport system. Hotels also usually have several maps available, covering the Old Prague and the Prague Castle area.
The public transportation map comes in two versions, one which is folds out of a pamphlet explaining all the costs and procedure to use various modes of transportation, all in several languages. The other one is a fold out map which is easier that shows the network of trams, metros and buses.
Maps provided by hotels include labels for most places of interest to tourists, including historical sites, places of worship, museums, etc.
Are there for sources in Prague that have hand-held, printed maps?
Maps are easy to obtain in Prague, no matter how you come to the country.
Airport: A free map is available at the airport’s public transport information kiosks.
Train station: The main train station likewise gives out free maps at the public transport information counters.
City center: The city’s official Visitor Center gives out free maps on Rytirska 12 (Staromestske Namesti).
Book stores: any large bookstore (e.g. Neoluxor on Vaclavske Namesti) sells maps of various resolutions. You can usually get maps for both Prague and the entire Czech Republic, as well as various surrounding countries.
If available, it would be useful to have sources for printed guides/maps of transit options, both under and above ground
Every map I’ve seen has the public transport options displayed, although some lack the bus stops.
and those that indicate taxi stands
While some maps may display those, I advise you against ever taking a taxi from an official taxi stand, as that’s where most tourists get ripped off. There’s even a notorious Youtube channel where a guy pretends to be a tourist and takes numerous official taxis.
to find maps that can be mounted on a bicycle/scooter to navigate as you go.
I haven’t seen those on sale, but perhaps try your luck at the bike rentals.
