openstreetmap.org is an open licensed alternative to google maps, and the content is available under an open licence as well. The fun part is that with a little convolution you can get the maps out as an (at least somewhat) editable SVG that can import into Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.
You can get a tool called maperative (http://maperitive.net/) that will take osm files and export editable svgs. A more convoluted route involves importing into qgis (https://www.qgis.org).
The maps can be edited in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (just frigging with that now), allowing you to modify them. I'll be digging into that at some point soon.
In the meantime, here's a PDF map of central Tatouine (yes, that Tatouine) rendered through Inkscape.
