Well sure. Esp. if you are creating the game background via some server-side code (PHP/JSP/ASP/etc.) it would make more sense to just generate a bunch of <img> tags inside a <div>. Done correctly, the images would automatically show 10 per row.

The only reason I could see to use canvas like this (and even then I'm not sure it's a better choice then <img>s in a <div>) would be because you are downloading new maps via, say, AJAX and/or you are generating the maps using logic (semi-random??) in JS code.
