If you're looking for lineart geography with color and borders, there's a couple ways to go... here's an example of a map I created recently that seems to match your intentions.

Look at all three versions, especially the third one at the bottom of the page.

Now I hand-drew, then scanned the lineart in this map, then subsequently applied a parchment texture and coloring from my favorite graphics app (Xara Xtreme Pro 4.0 - which is a $250 program, with a $49 lite version.)

As I say, I did this hand-drawn, which you may or may not be able to do yourself, however, there are lineart mountain and forest symbols that could be used as a "brush" element within Photoshop or GIMP that you could use to create your line art map. Of course specific coastlines and other elements might still be required to be hand-drawn (you could do this as a hard round brush in GIMP or Photoshop as well.)

Then apply color and borders afterward in those same raster apps. Thus creating the kind of map you're looking for, and doing it all yourself.
