overhead map - how to make overhead
Assuming you are wanting to make maps for Myth II, I suggest reading either (or both) Cydonian's excellent Mapmaking Guide or Heal with Steel's equally excellent (and more detailed) newbies Guide to mapmaking.
Once you know the basics, if you want to know about the finer points of making a colormap, like how to make a colormap that actually looks good, Clem's colormapping walkthrough is a great resource.

for ProjectMagma admins - would it be worthwhile to add a sticky note at the beginning of this mapmaking topic with links to a handful of the more useful articles/guides?

Lots of Myth stuff at http://mythgraveyard.org.
Sometimes I put hard to find stuff in my my Udogs folder.
