Hi Kevin the national center for tactile diagrams which was formerly part of the university of hertfordshire but is now integrated in to rnib do just this sort of thing and with a quick turn around. They are however a mainly commercial service although last time I used them they did offer a sponsored service for projects for individuals so you only paid £20 per image. Note that that's per print image, one print image might end up as several tactile images depending on scale perspective etc. Don't know if this would cover maps though I guess it depends on the complexity of the source image.
