You can use ASCII representations of hexagonal grid maps [as shown on Rogue Basin][1].[^1] If that was less tedious than making a picture directly, you could fill in the map and write a script to build you an SVG.

The ASCII itself is probably even harder to read than the original, unless the text is colored.
