I'm trying to create an isometric tile map using HTML5 Canvas. Everything I've found online points me towards using a pre-built engine. I'd like to learn how to do this without using an engine. Is it possible to do this? If so, how? Would I need to look into WebGL?

There are many ways to do this. You could position image elements, you could blit them into a canvas, you could use WebGL to render them. Any way you might display graphics in a web page is at your disposal — there's nothing specific about an isometric map that demands that you do it a particular way. I'd recommend reframing this question about the specific method you're trying to use, and any particular problems you're encountering trying to execute it. – DMGregoryOct 8 at 23:45
    
@DMGregory, Thanks. I'm trying to figure out the best way to word it. I'll update the question when I do. – RobertOct 8 at 23:51

I made one once using just the 2d canvas API without any 3rd party libraries. It worked great. Can I help you how to do it? No, I can't, because you don't tell us what kind of help you need. Voted to close as too broad. Please ask a specific question about a tangible problem you have and I might be able to help you. – PhilippOct 9 at 1:33
