the logos are copyrighted but the school names themselves are not.

well mabye you could make an outline or rough draft on paint to show everyone your Idea, and if everyone likes that, then you can move on and do the map. :) <--(andy's smile)

I downloaded inkscape for free. The link is under map-making tools. I found it very easy to learn (if you've ever used photoshop you'll pick it up quickly) and its much more powerful and dynamic than a program like paint. There are other possibilities too, all listed under map making tools.
