I found it if you start a custom single player game. Click on more options and chose from the map style drop down the map from the DLC.

I have had the same problem as the OP and posted earlier. This suggestion makes sense and I will try it tonight. Many thanks in advanced if it works!

Confirmation if this works for you would be fine.
The problem has now come up several times, and i'd like to add some description about it to the FAQ.

This suggestion has not worked. There are more maps than I had at first and one is Asia, but I have yet to find the Babylonian Leader.

As I understand, I do NOT have to actually install anything once the key is accepted by STEAM which it was.

As with the OP, I also ordered the game retail from Amazon.

Thanks for any help

I thought Babylon only came with the Deluxe edition from Steam or Direct2Drive. Amazon did not include Baylon but did include the map pack.

Well, I also preorderd the retail version from Amazon and got my key about 3-4 Day after release for the Cradle of Civilization DLC.
Steam also told me, that one download was completed after I registered the key.
The problem I had with it, was that I thought is a scenario and not a map script. I just had the option to chose the map script in a custom game under "more options". And it is not called Cradle of Civilization, just Medeterranean, whats also a bit confusing.
If this doesn't provide all information you'll need to find the DLC than just report again. I can provide some screenshots for guidance
