Hello Ed,
        We have the map in question which we could loan to you, if you
have not found it somewhere else already.  Our catalogue is available via
the web, too, at:
        http://chess.library.mun.ca/  (demo version, but real!)
or via telnet at:
        telnet://info.library.mun.ca log in as "remote" and follow the
directions.
