Michael Pollard has a book called _Rivers of Great Britain and Ireland:
Great Rivers_. It's obviously contemporary, but the book does have maps, and
it's inexpensive. You could always copy and enlarge the maps from the book
and pass them out to students as a point of reference, emphasizing the
understanding that the real topography has been incorporated into a larger
mythical one. Another option would be to look into books that contain photos
of 16th/17th century maps.
Good luck.
