~/.openarena/baseoa (you may need to show hidden files in your file manager)
If the maps are neatly packed in .pk3 that will do it. If you only have .bsp files then create a 'maps' folder inside that.

Well, give us a few explanations.

What is the whole path and name of the map you copied ?

/home/cacatoes/.openarena/baseoa/am_lavactf-b1.pk3 is a valid path (for me).

You can check which .pk3 file is read when you start the game from your console output, bring it down, and check which pk3 it finds.

BEEEEP, wrong answer.

Do you understand the directory hierarchy of Linux systems ?

/home/user1/
/home/user2/
/home/user...

/home/user1/music
/home/user1/porn
/home/user1/.config <= this is a hidden directory, it starts with a "."
/home/user1/.openarena <= this one is interesting
/home/user1/.openarena/baseoa <= this one even more interesting

Yes, can you check this pk3 is read by the game when it starts itself ?
You can do that by opening the console (shift+esc) and read the log.
If yes, then check the map is available with (in the console):
Code:
dir maps
And by typing /map the_map_name (which is not every time the same name than the .pk3 file). It should start the map.

Precision: you have to type that within the game console, not with your Linux terminal.

You can replace /home/username/ with ~ to get into the directory for current user:

~/.openarena


Game console you usually can access with ~ key or Shift+Esc as Cacatoes already told
