Get a map for the area you want. I used google maps, but you can use whatever map you want. I suppose you could even do this with a purchased street map if you so desired. Someone suggested this place instead of google maps: http://www.openstreetmap.org/.

If you haven't noticed already, on google maps you can click the tiny little arrow on the left side bar and it will disappear giving you a larger map area to work with.

I wanted this map to flow intuitively from one page to the next. To get that effect, you need a long (wide) and narrow (short) map.

I chose to make a map of my home area, Silicon Valley, which is sort of a landscape rectangle (see photo).

Take a screen shot and then paste it into your photo software.
