Maps of Mesopotamia

Excellent but very detailed maps of ancient Mesopotamia can be found in:

Tübinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients (Wiesbaden: Reichert, 1977-1993).

The Beihefte. Tübinger Altes des Vorderen Orients offer additional geographical and historical information.

As part of the Beihefte, a series of studies of place names was published in the sub-series:

Repertoire Geographique des textes cuneiformes (1977 – present)

An ancient Mesopotamian map of the world, as drawn on a cuneiform tablet, can be seen in the British Museum.
