I use an empty map template off google and put it in photoshop. In new layers I add the terrain, towns, text etc. using custom brushes designed for this exact thing. My favourite is a set of lotr-esque brushes containing trees, mountains and buildings! Very simple.
For the fog of war thing I just have a pitch-black layer on top of everything except the text and reduce the opacity so that it just becomes a 'fog', and then I use the erasor tool to line our the explored area.

It's quite fun!

Ah, cool. If you haven't seen it before, a cool thing that I like for making maps is this: http://fantasynamegenerators.com/map-creator.php#.VcIodPnhA1Y

It can actually make stuff that looks pretty similar to this RP's map, so I actually thought that you may have used it.
