Personally I use Photoshop CS4 but you need to pay for this. You can download GIMP which is free of charge. There are some tutorials out on the net for this that you can learn from.
Paint, however is not an acceptable tool to develop maps with.

Good Luck!

You can get by just fine with much older version of photoshop. Photoshop 7 (old old software) would do you. The CS series are very advanced pieces of software that have features you will never need. All the tools you will ever need for top quality map making can be found on many earlier version of photoshop.
What do you know about map making, bitch?

Or even use Photoshop Elements 3. The lowest on the list of Photoshop software.
Thats what I made Oasis with. It works fine.
