Ok once you have created a map you need to compile it into a .bsp file - read this tutorial.

The Berlin .map file comes with the Spearhead SDK. This is the only official .map file the community has. If you want you can download a decompiler and try to rebuild the official maps that way but i really wouldn't recommend it....
