Your best option would be to use the Magic Wand Tool and select each "text" from your map. With the text selected you can create a new layer ( Ctrl+ J on Windows). You can then safely paint your map without affecting the text. However, it will not look very good so I suggest another option. Why don't you just remember all the names and add them later using your Type Tool? You can find a font that matches the original or even come with a new and better one.

Cheers!
