There is such a map, right before the novel starts, but it's not the same one.
The lettering runs in different disrections, and there are tiny different details--for example, if you go rimward down into the Shades from Treacle Mine Road along the road marked as the Whore Pits on the map theweaselking linked to, the second building on your left doesn't have a small alcove that you could duck into[1] if you turned left and then left again. On the map in Night Watch, it does. And the little triangular cluster a little further down (it's at the Sweetheart Lane marker on this map) has two buildings; on the Night Watch map, it has four.
They are very close, though.
...and I have taken Night Watch off the bookshelf, so I will be finishing it again over the next few days. Because that's how it goes. --- [1] Or, more plausibly, be evicted from with much final brutality. This *is* the Shades, after all.
Those look like they are from the Discworld art book I've been seeing on the shelves of the local B&B and Borders that I've so far managed to not buy (but while I may have won a few battles, I'm losing the war; it will end up on my bookshelf at some point).
The river's the right shape, but the bridges and streets look all wrong. Besides, Ankh-Morpork is consciously taken from London in the first place, so I'm not surprised at all to see the Isle Of Dogs at that distinctive little dogleg.
Pratchett based much of Ankh-Morpokh on London. And its definately not from the "Art of Discworld". I just went and checked. Gotta be from the Mappe book of A-M. Which, along with the Journals and school Yearbooks, are among the few I don't have yet...
