Depends how fancy you want it to be. You can get a static map easily
using at&t's graphviz tools (dot):

There's even WebDot so you can make the nodes clickable, though I
haven't tried that. Dot is about as simple to use as anything that
exists. Sometimes you'll be annoyed by the way it lays things out,
but it works. Hope I interpreted your question correctly.
