What is exactly the purpose of this? Do you want to have a high-resolution map like the one Demian made or is a low resolution one fine as well? For the latter, Freedinkedit has (I believe) the minimap function of which you could make a screenshot. That's the way I made a mini-map for in-game use in one of my DMODs.

For higher resolutions I can't think of any straightforward solutions (besides the aforementioned stitching together of screenshots) that would work. It should be possible of course, all of the data is in the map.dat file (with maybe a bit in dink.dat as well, I'm not fully up to date on this), but I'd guess that a custom tool would need to be created. I kind of doubt that Windinkedit+ could do this either, I can't find any tool to do this though I might simply be looking in the wrong place.
