I have had a quick look on the internet and can find plenty of references 
to the Comanchean Sea,but no map! I am not really surprised because such 
a map would depend upon highly detailed mapping and this may not have 
been done. If it has, the results will either be hidden in some academic 
paper somewhere or in the data banks of an oil/gas company. The only 
thing I can suggest is a book called The Atlas of the Prehistoric World. 
This is written by Douglas Palmer. The book is a Discoverty Channel 
publication.It is actually published by Marshall publishing. ISBN 1 84028 
255 X.It costs £19.99 in the UK. There are maps in the book covering the 
early and late Cretaceous. They are sketchy but show the relationships 
between land and sea superimposed over the outlines of modern land 
masses.It is also a very readable book and a source of useful geological 
information - I use it regularly in my science lessons that deal with 
geology.

Hope this helps.
