Have you tried using Map Editor for Red Alert ?
for a very basic mapping? yes. cliff placement is absolute pain, even with tool improvement since TibSun. i don't have much experience with it, but i think i can give a few small tips:
start map with lowest elevation - it's easier to place some cliffs and fill in elevated terrain than o try and cut out a hole in the ground
make sure the editor touches top left corner of the screen - view is somehow anchored to that point, so moving window somewhere else will make it so that you won't be able to see the whole map
there's an alternative view mode that shows asset numbers and shapes - use it to build cliffs and make sure that green lines on the cliffs connect, otherwise funny stuff will be happening.
