I find, for the level of maps I need to remind me of what's west of where, and how many rooms are on the first floor of such-and-such a building, MSPaint's as good as anything else. Or scribbling them on paper.
I have a binder with a really elaborate map of a world I created when I was 14. I used two sizes of graph paper -- one with 1/4 inch squares for the main map, then several with 1/8 inch squares for detail maps. I also created a pantheon, trade routes, etc. But at the time, I was just using the world for D&D games. I never tried to write a story set there; I never really had the interest.
