Yes, I would certainly not deliver a completed map until the client had paid in full. I might deliver the map in stages - deliver low-res .jpg of pencil sketch, get paid installment 1; deliver low-res .jpg of inked map, get paid installment 2; etc.) One of my earlier posts talks about deliverables and payment schedules (I know my posts are super lengthy - it's hard to be concise but complete - so just Ctrl+F "deliverables").
