When making a map, what do you do first?

I find that using other maps for inspiration is a good start for ideas, and then once you have an idea placing a grid helps more than you think. I find my maps turn out soooo much better when there is a grid

 

I build the least important part of the map first

 

I usually go into Forge first... ;P

Seriously, I have started using different approaches. It seems like one is not adequate for all cases. More importantly, I feel like I am learning still, and so I take new approaches to apply new ideas.
