Best Method is to buy the PDF.
All maps come with multiple layers. The Map Location Markings are on a different layer and if you select the map in the PDF, Copy and paste into paint or similar program it will paste without the markings which then can be printed.

That's not true of all the modules. A lot of the early modules don't have the multiple layers which means that you have to photoshop out the relevant markings. (I had to do that for Carrion Hill.)
(That being said, there's a bunch of scenarios that also have the Secret info built into the map. It's really annoying...)

I DMed it a week ago and what I did was badging it with tracing paper (leaving all the distracting numbers and the perfidious crop circle out that way) and
Yes copying the maps with tracing paper will cost you some more minutes of prep work, but it's definitely worth it.

I just cropped the map and cut a line straight down the right side that took off the crop cirlces, is also chopped off the mayors house but I just drew a arrow pointing to mayors house. I told the players to ignore the numbers because some of them I swapped locations on the GM map.
It's a poor mans version but it got the job done.
