.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I wonna make my first map but i don't now with what to start, should i first make the roads or first make some buidings and then the roads.
To make a map do you copy some ideas from the orginal maps because i have no ideas to make a map?

Thanks,

Look at a lot of maps to get ideas. Don't copy directly but you can use little bits and pieces and then build on them.
