Mapping the maser emission of subnuclear regions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) enable us to determine some interesting details of the geometry of the accretion disks (AD) under the condition that they have “maser skin”. Additional information about disk warp in the innermost zone near the central black hole (BH) can be disclosed by means of modeling the shape of the relativistically broadened iron emission lines in the energy range 6-7 keV. Here we analyze the influence of the AD geometry (warp) on the shape of the set of relativistically broadened emission lines, as well as consider some examples of AGNs identified by maser mapping techinque as warped and having the complex shape of iron lines near 6.4 keV.
