Here is a bit of a world map of the MC server. It seems that plugins for 1.7.x still have a couple weeks to go, so hopefully this helps in the absence of a minimap. 
The house icon is the world spawn. Different shades are just technical biomes; hills, plateaus, etc.
		
		
	
	
		 
	
Thanks to Arcani for telling me about the program that could do this.
