Text Maps
Bryan Carter wrote a couple of files containing annotated text maps of the four continents of Sosaria. You can reach them from either Bryan's projects page or his list of text files.
Places
The Ultima 1 Character Statistics page at Ultima Thule! has a list of sign posts and the bonuses they imbue on visitors. Additionally, this site's Ultima 1 Economy pages provide lists of shops where you can buy anything from weapons to transportation.
The Ultima 1 technical file by Plaid Dragon, on the Ultima Online Archive, gives all the details of every place on each continent.
There is a list of interesting places that is on the Complete Guide to Ultima 1, part of Prescient Dragon's Hint Network.
There is excellent information about places on the Ultima I Shrine on the RPG Classics Shrines. The principle behind the generation of dungeons is explained; the overworld is shown with tiled maps and marked with locations; the sign posts are listed with their locations and effects; space is explained in detail and towns are explained excellently.
