Heightmap making

Hi, I want to make a mod based on the world of A Song of Ice and FIre, but don't want to just rename the cities like some others mods did. I want to create an entire new map. I read some tutorials and watched several videos, and all agreed that first I need to create a heightmap.

So I tried to make one, based on a paper map I have of Westeros and the Free Cities, with photoshop, but I am not very skilled with virtual drawing. So I would like to know if there is any way to easily make a heightmap from the paper map I have.

I thought of drawing the lines of the paper map using tracing paper, then scan it, and then just paint the scan file with photoshop, but I don't know if it would actually work.

 

If the tracing paper actually works, should I make a .pdf file or .jpeg?

 

Another question: my idea was to make a map of Westeros as big as Skyrim, but I don't know if the game would be able to handle it. What do you guys think?

New question, I want to create the topography for the map, but it's so huge that it's really hard to add all the details I want, so my thought was to create the different parts of my map in separate TIFF files, but then how would I combine them into one big map? Would there be scale or topography issues if I do so?
