Here's a page with a map of the Bastogne area:

This one isn't very detailed, but lists the roads and nearby cities:

This one is more detailed, and probably closer to what you're looking
for:

That's the best map I can find online. The Osprey book you're looking
for would probably be:

Also, another source for maps of the Bastogne area would be picking up
the PC game Close Combat IV: Battle of the Bulge. A lot of screen shots
came up for that, and I imagine you could use them for maps.
