I guess I'm sort of shilling here, but I like the product and I think
it's a good deal, so I hope you'll forgive me (anyway, it's not like I
receive any kickbacks for my post).
There's currently a bundle-deal for almost the complete bundle of
Campaign Cartographer software suite at HumbleBundle
https://www.humblebundle.com/software/map-making-mega-bundle-softwareExcluding a couple of the newest update packs, you can get all their
'wares for $35 USD, which is a pretty good price.
Campaign Cartographer is, admittedly, not the easiest software to
learn. It's basically repackaged CAD software and its interface hasn't
changed in more than 20 years. The interface is obtuse and the
learning curve is steep, but the reward for all that is an incredibly
powerful suite of software. I've used it over the years and while I'm
no expert, even with the default symbols and tools, I've made some
respectable creations
(here's an old one that I made more than 20 years ago!

The toolset allows you a variety of styles, so you can customise and
individualise your creations to your own taste. The add-ons allow
everything from dioramas to character models to star maps. I owned the
core apps but was glad to round out my collection (and get updated
versions of the tools at the same time) with this bundle.
Anyway, I think it's a useful collection for any Dungeon Master,
especially those who like a nice map in their adventures.
