My first was also back in Worldcraft. Started a map for Team Fortress Classic. All I remember is a wall which had a ramp going up to some windows lol
I've never finished a map so I abandon projects awfully quick.
Unfortunately, I was like 13 when I made my first map, so I decided it would be smart to upload my map to Garrysmod.org without any tags what-so-ever, so now I can't find my map. It was a 2 story map that had tons of different crap with thin platforms stretching across an open skybox that had trigger_hurts under them. I vaguely remember making it for a jailbreak setting, but not adding any cells or anything. I remember to get down to the next level, you have to get on a elevator that was turned sideways do to my: "I don't know what I'm doing with track_trains."
I made a Wal-Mart map about 2 months ago and I deleted the textures on accident.
Did my first map when i was like 10, it was a platform in the void with the standart brick texture and a mine from hl2 on it
My first map was just a weird indoor room where i placed some props and brushes. I kinda tried out how everything works. It took some time to get used to Hammer. Two of my earlier maps though: [video=youtube;Ym2eZmQM-II]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym2eZmQM-II[/video]

This was my first map:

The map dates 9/8/1996, and is one of the few files of mine that has survived over the many machines I've built since then (12 machines ago and about 18 years.)
IIRC it was when I was experimenting with various effects in the game and how to utilize them. All I had at the time was a 300 page text file explaining how the build engine works, now you have sites dedicated to mapping lol.
My first map I wasn't thinking about scale at all. I didn't notice until I compiled that I made table and some chairs that were 3 storeys high. :v:
If we're talking about first map released, then it would be this.

I think there was a video on youtube of somone playing through it, but I can't find it for the life of me. So the gmod.org pics will have to do.

Man I wish I had my first map I seriously worked on. I've worked on at least 20 different maps i never finished. I'll try to recreate it verbatim to avoid cheating. I'll post it when I'm finished..Makes me wish I Knew about soundscapes back then...Oh well.
I'm actually gonna try and find it now. I posted some pictures on facepunch (in the pimpage thread) but it was like 6 years ago so I can't find them. Determined now, I'll be back
My first map was a hollow box with the default texture filled with npcs and weapon crates, all on each axis because I couldn't figure out how to adjust the location. Also, the spawn was right in the center way above the bottom, so you'd take like 30 damage each time you started the map.
I made this map just to get comfortable with Hammer, I swear, it's my first map, and I am still working on it.

The map has custom soundscapes on some objects, like a clock which is invisible in EP2, the refrigerator in the kitchen, and the ceiling fans. (They are actually spinning)

Never finished it.
My first map was a deathrun map full metal, but sucked.

I don't HAVe it anymore, but it was just a small box with a green computer screen wallpaper for some reason and a bunch of guns in the middle
:v:

I'm actually a bit embarrassed at how dull it turned out. The map's purpose of existing was mostly just to waste time.
it might need a change of ambience but the brushwork looks good.
I tried making my own city, i worked on this for about a year, it started as a massive flat grass with a cafe in the middle, learning from 3klicksphilip.
The map is a pile of shite.

Oh god no.
Find someone else or something else to help you learn how to map. [url]www.interlopers.net[/url] for example.
A goddamn barn on a mod that had no custom content based of of hl2 and it was just a fucking barn thats it and a spawn and a failed shelf with ammo on it
My first maps in hammer were recreations of landmarks such as the Chicken Itza in Mexico. My first full map I worked on was a Garry's Mod Stranded Map for a server I was admin on. Sadly lost all pictures of it.
-snip-
I definitely dont have it any more but my first ever map was in goldsrc and it was 2 rooms separated by a hall with a light entity this map was made following what was probably the first ever hammer tutorial.
My first map was a blocky mess of brick textures and an APC static prop with the bomb point decal in front of it, don't know where it is now. Got a couple screenshots of a few later mapping attempts, probably about four years old by now:
