map array problem

[Denion]

okay I am making an array of maps but i get the following error at compile time:
graph.h:18: error: parse error before `[' token

#include <map>
using namespace std;
class graph 
{
public:

	struct edge
	{
	   int cost;
	   char *left;
	   char *right;	   
	};
	
	graph(char * fileName);
	
private:
	map<char *, int> nodeMap;
	nodeMap nodeList [1000];//the problem is here ***********************
	bool isCycle(char * One, char * Two);
	bool downList();
	int knownCounter;
};

anyone got ideas?
