It is, but you don't ask questions here, you ask questions in the main forum.

Use WorldBuilder.

I'd suggest starting off by just using world builder to make a map. There's a manual here if you get lost. But just fool around with it first. Start a game, then bring up the menu and hit "Enter World Builder."

Once you get used to making maps there, check out some tutorials for configuring maps further with tutorials like this and references like this.

Finally, if you want to make maps like how some have made, based on actual land masses (Earth, Africa, Europe, etc), rather than go through and try to build it tile by tile in the worldbuilder, check out this tool that can convert pictures (such as satellite photos that you must slightly alter) into playable maps.

If at any point you have any more questions that someone else hasn't asked, you can post a new thread in the Civ4 - Creation & Customization forum.

Good luck!

You shouldn't do that, you're only encouraging people to post in wrong forums willy-nilly

Perhaps, but at least I get some karma points.
