I'm working on a history book for my family. I need a good map that shows Switzerland, Germany, Pennsylvania to illustrate the Palatine Migration....simple, can be sent to me digitally, not publishing for profit, just for family Mixbook/Shutterfly type book (severe shortage of family photos at this stage of history - Grin!!). Does anyone have such a map?? (I'm a researcher, not an artist....) Thanks in advance!
closed with the note: Thanks for all the great ideas! I found just what I needed.

There seem to be a number of images found with a Google image search. Some may be public domain.
Thank you! Great idea!!
Some (German) Wikipedia-articles also have good maps shown in them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Palatinate 
has a little bit of the history and some maps.

The book "Becoming German", by Philip Otterness has some great maps showing various aspects of the Palatine Migration. Otterness used a database built from the research of Henry Jones Jr and applied a big data mapping approach to identify hotspots of the migration.  The whole book is great but it is worth buying for just the maps by themselves.
