There is a terrific program for designing your own called Campaign Cartographer, produced by ProFantasy. Please, if you haven't already, check out their website. Not only is a demo version of this great product available there, but there are great numbers of maps contributed by the many Campaign Cartographer users worldwide. Over the years, I've heard a lot of folks talk about the challenges of learning how to use Campaign Cartographer. I know it took me quite a while before I was comfortable with it! Thankfully, a lot of people have created tutorials to help us work out our "issues". First, always start with the tutorials that came with your legally registered copy of Campaign Cartographer! Then, come back here and take a look at these:
