First step is to edit your post to describe the map and how it works.
Then you need to draw it or find someone who is willing to draw it for you.
There are lots of free drawing software out there Gimp is popular I use Krita but having layers is nice as you can put different bits in different places,
but you could draw it in paint or whatever the equivalent is these days :)

Next once you are happy with the art ad potential gameplay you need to make the xml file or ask me nicely to make it :D (or anyone else :D ) this post describes all of how the different features of xml work: viewtopic.php?t=183876
I am happy to answer any questions you might have about it.

After we have art and graphics I will upload to the beta site where the map can be tested and make sure no errors in the xml file and the gameplay works how you want. Once your happy and I agree the map is ready it get's upgraded to the live site and live beta.

If you have any specific questions just let me know I am happy to help :)
