Try to draw one on your own. You can simplify your school´s neighbourhood, put some nice and funny pictures on. Your students will love it.

There is a really good directions lesson on Teaching Truffles. The lessons includes a large map, similar to the one you described.

The lesson is free and printable. Just click to download. The link to the lesson is http://www.teachingtruffles.com/listening_lessons.php

Hope this helps,
