Hi Don,
Do you need it done on a computer?
Two thoughts occur to me:
1. Hire a helicopter for an hour and take some arial shots. You can scan them into yopur computer and work them up in any way you want. The helicopter ride will probably be cheaper than some of the top end graphics programs.
2. Roughly sketch out your map freehand and then hire an art college student to make a nice 'painted' map for you. If the kid is any good you can add all kinds of personalised stuff on it that a computer program would struggle with.
Just some thoughts.
