When I arrived in Puerto Iguazu, I found the National Park offered brochures with schematic Iguazu Falls maps (detail, photo, left) at my hotel as well as at the park office.

Have a look at these online maps listed here to get oriented with this wonderful Argentina attraction.

An amazing series of waterfalls where Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina meet in South America, Iguazu Falls is one of the world's top natural scenic wonders.

Lonely Planet Argentina travel guide is the one I used at the time (see all on Amazon.com). Look for a newer one for all South America - see South America: On a Shoestring

I think Google Earth is one of the best Iguazu Falls maps, as it shows how the borders for the three countries meet near Iguazu Falls, shown here at the bend (bottom, blue) of the Iguazu River.

When you are 'live' on Google Earth, you can zoom in close enough to see the white water cascading over the falls itself.

Google Earth download available for PC, Macintosh or Linux, with details of what your system needs to support it.

Walking trails -- named Upper Circuit Trail and Lower Circuit Trail in Argentina -- are shown in orange and yellow. The grey and blue map to the upper left across the river are the walking trails on the Brazil side.

In this view, Brazil is to the left across the Iguazu River.
