I've never had a problem getting an unmarked Kingmaker map....
Click on the map, hit Ctrl-C, paste into paint. Every time I've done that, I get a map with most of the unacceptable bits removed, suitable for use in MapTool.
The only maps I didn't do that for were the overland maps, because river names and such still appeared on them. So I built a full Stolen Lands map in Campaign Cartographer, and then I export to MapTool as needed.
The Interactive Maps PDFs are available for Carrion Crown, Jade Regent, Skull & Shackles, Shattered Star and will be available for future Adventure Paths. Going backwards to previous APs may be possible, but there is no current ETA.
Chris, if there is going to be any backtracking, please make it happen for Kingmaker. Previous APs may not need it, but if any AP can benefit from interactive maps, it would be this one.+1

If that CC map happens to be available, I would build a temple in your name! :)
I've done a bit of stop-start with putting together a KM map in CC3, but I keep getting sidetracked, as it's a fairly big undertaking.
Ramarran's approach has always worked for me too. Opening the Kingmaker PDFs in Adobe Reader, then click-and-control-C copying the maps and pasting them into The Gimp gives me the image without any of the text, so there's no encounter letters/numbers, no spoiler-y descriptions or anything. I didn't even have Ramarran's problem of overland maps retaining their river names and suchlike - they just have the map graphic with no text (not even the N on the compass rose).
They're perfect for showing to the players, although I do find that I need to muck around a bit with cropping half-squares from the edges and resizing the map to have an exact number of pixels per grid square if I want to easily use them in 3D Virtual Tabletop for miniature battles.
