These maps have been published for the guinea fowl and the cat by Langner
and Schreiner in the 1980s. If you want to have them in color, take the
recent ones from the chinchilla:

Gerald Langner, Monika Albert and Thorsten Briede (2002) Temporal and
spatial coding of periodicity information in the inferior colliculus of
awake chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger). Hear Res 168, 110-130.
