Raven Down is a multiplayer map added on January 10, 2007, in a downloadable content package titled "Gears of War-Multiplayer Map Pack 1". Gears of War-Multiplayer Map Pack 1 added two new multiplayer maps, "Old Bones" and "Raven Down".
This map is a very small cross-shaped map with a downed Raven in the middle and splits the teams into two groups of two at the begining, instead of putting all four of them together like usual. Here is a (very poor) sample image of the map from a birds eye view, to show how the teams are split up. The diagonal row of R's symbolizes the downed Raven.
