The usual way to collect ground truth is to go on the ground in the study area, and collect information about which of your classes really exists in some set of points. Then you can create a set of ROIs (one for each class) containing those points, and use those as your ground truth.
If your maps are very accurate, then you could create some "ground truth" ROIs. You would create a point ROI for each of your classes, with a set of points you find on your maps for each class. You would be assuming, though, that the map is 100% accurate.
Another option, if you can get your maps in digital form, is to put them in ENVI classification format (one pixel value per class), and use them as "ground truth" images. Again, you would be assuming that the map is 100% accurate.
