Where can I find a simplified Railways of the World map for player reference?

I've just gotten a copy of Railways of the World after playing and enjoying a few games.  The eastern-US map is physically very large and "artistic".  I and some of my friends have vision problems that make it hard to see things especially near the center of the board, except by hovering over the table in a way that interferes with other players.  What I'd really like is a player aid, a "schematic" version of the map that we can consult for quick things like "which city in that clump is the red one?" or for calculating track-building costs.  A schematic would include the names and colors of cities and the surrounding terrain types (three options), in an easy-to-see format.  I've dug through Board Game Geek without success (though there are a *lot* of files and maybe I missed something).  I've found plenty of images of the map, but no simplified renderings.

I want to augment this ([source](https://www.eaglegames.net/Railways-of-the-World-Railways-of-Eastern-U-S-Map-p/101121.htm)):

With something like this excerpt (mockup, not the right scale, but just to show the idea):

I made that mockup by searching for hex grids online and coloring in a small portion of the full map.  The proportions aren't right -- I didn't find the *right* hex layout -- and anyway, I'd rather not build the entire map like this if someone else already has made something that would meet my group's vision needs.

Has someone?  Where can I find a simpler reference map to use alongside the real one?
