Ptolemy's own maps have not survived. There are, nonetheless, a variety of medieval and modern reconstructions. Wikipedia has a number of these which are zoomable, but not particularly clear. [See, for example North Africa; North Central Africa; North East Africa; North West Africa. Wikipedia's main page for its collection of maps for Ptolemy's Geography is here.] Clearer are Heinrich Kiepert's World as Known to the Ancients and Ptolemy's World, and Empire of Iran. Beautiful maps of historical Africa by Heinrich Kiepert and other cartographers are available on our Maps Page.
