I think you have to edit Modid_map.tga in Modid/Worlds/Modid/World1
But i'm not sure, I never maked a minimap.

Open bfbuilder. load your mod. Then in the upper right corner you will see a "CAMERA" click on it, then a menu opens with the following options;
Burn Terrain
Save HiRes Map
Save Height Map

Your select Save HiRes Map. you over-write the modid_map.tga. Then you rename the file remove the modid and put your "modid" there.

You can also try this method, posted on Psych0Fred's site:

I did it roughly this way, although I had problems and tried a few other things (which I don't remember). I think eventually you just have to figure out a way to do it, after starting with some basic pointers such as those in the link.

Just a quick correction: in nzy3vc's method, you click on Image to get the "Save HiRes Map" option, not Camera.
