Have you run a web search on cartography? What kind of resources were you hoping to find?
What do you need a map of? Star system? World? Continent?
Try drawing your own. Look at existing maps for examples of how it's done. Be sure your geography is logical (water flows downhill, etc.) and think about how people populate different kinds of geographic regions and how they travel within and between them. Account for vertical climate, etc.
You might find what you need somewhere in here:
