You can take a look at ndt_fuser, you can feed this information about odometry and that will help in mapping. To get odometry with IMU and encoder, you can use robot_localization.

NOTE: You cannot use your encoder data directly for robot_localization. You will need to convert it into a twist message or Odometry message.

what about gmapping ?

For gmapping to work you need to provide odom->base_link transform that comes from robot_localization. In short if this transform is available you can use gmapping and it should output map.
