You should remove the first "Lucida" from your path

D:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\Lucida\map\dvips\lucida

making it instead

D:\texlive\texmf-local\fonts\map\dvips\lucida

Here on my working (Mac) setup

$ kpsewhich lucida.map
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/lucida/lucida.map

Says kpsewhich

$ kpsewhich --var-value TEXFONTMAPS
.:{{}/Users/brunovoisin/Library/texlive/2018/texmf-config,/Users/brunovoisin/Library/texlive/2018/texmf-var,/Users/brunovoisin/Library/texmf,!!/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local,!!/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-config,!!/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-var,!!/usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist}/fonts/map/{kpsewhich,pdftex,dvips,}//

I don't remember the specifics of the syntax (ie what {} and !! precisely mean), but in essence this seems to say map files can be either in

- the current directory, or

- any texmf tree at TEXMF/fonts/map/{kpsewhich,pdftex,dvips}/*

You can inspect texmf.cnf to be sure (at TEXMFDIST/web2c/texmf.cnf). Here in TeX Live 2018 it says:

TEXFONTMAPS = $TEXMFDOTDIR;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//

So it seems the location can be any of

TEXMF/fonts/map/{<your-prog-name>,pdftex,dvips,}/*

where <your-prog-name> is the particular brand of TeX for which you installed the map files (luatex, xetex, dvipdfm, dvipdfmx, etc.).

Hope this works,
