You probably want 'The Atlas of Middle-earth' by Karen Wynn Fonstad

Specifically, the revised Atlas has the illustrations you are looking for (based on Tolkien's rough drawings reproduced in The Shaping of Middle-earth).
Here is a world map of Arda in the First Age: http://www.elvenesse.net/maps/Arda_FirstAge.gif. It shows the main continent of Endor and the second continent that would later be known as the lands of Near and Far Harad. Note how much it resembles modern Africa.
Aman would later be physically separated from Arda, while the other fringe lands would begin to become more familiar following the Change of the World in the Second Age.
I would guess that whatever event was supposed to re-shape the World again into its modern configuration probably occurred at the end of the Fourth Age (about the time of the Biblical Flood).
