Taken from Wm. Robert. Johnston's Planetary Maps. He says:

This is a preliminary attempt at a map of the Earth as it 
would be if the remaining ice caps melted. Sea level would 
be about 80 meters higher, which is depicted. Isostatic 
rebound would leave most of Greenland above sea level, but 
portions of Antarctica would be below sea level, which this 
map does not take into account. Vegetation changes are not 
represented so far. The base map is a modern map of the 
Earth from the Visible Earth web site.

This is a preliminary attempt at a map of the Earth during the 
last Ice Age (at about the last glacial maximum, 16,000 B.C.). 
The base map is a modern map of the Earth from the Visible Earth 
web site. From various sources ice caps and sea level changes 
are indicated; vegetation changes are only partly represented so far.
