Need help creating a brush please

Hi all! New here. I use GIMP regularly to edit images for use on role-playing games. Unfortunately, my knowledge of GiMP is just enough that I’m a danger to myself and others - I use about 20% of the programs capabilities.

I recently assembled the image below from 26 individual map pages, originally printed in 1985. I’m not quite finished yet, I still have to match colours from the various pages, fix seems, etc. What I want to do is create a meandering road across the map centre horizontally. How do I create a brush that is bordered in black with a brown centre, even “dirt patterned” if possible. I’d like to make it 4 or 5 pixels wide and just use the mouse to then draw a road on the map below.

Can someone please explain to me how? Treat me like I’m 5, I won’t be insulted. In fact there are 5 year olds who I’m sure already know how.
