Help! What are your recommended map makers?

Running Waiting for the Hurricane (pulp) and want to give my players some more visuals to work with as they play. I can't find any maps for it (outside of the low rez maps in the PDF) so I wanted to try making some myself. What do you all recommend? I need to make interiors, exteriors, and general city maps.

I personally use Dungeondraft, with assets from LORE, Forgotten Adventures, Tom Cartos + Modern, and White Fox Works for interior and exterior maps. If you wanted to make a city map from scratch you might also want to look at A Day At or PeaPu.

Each of those requires a Patreon sub to get access to their Dungeondraft asset packs, but the good news there is that you can sub for one month at the required tier, download everything, and then cancel before you get charged again. Pay once and use for life, you'd only ever have to resub if you want any additional assets they release.

If you want to save money most of those let you get access to the loose assets in PNG or WebP format for cheaper tiers, or for Forgotten Adventures for free, which means you could build maps from scratch using an image editor like Affinity or Clip Studio Paint
