How can I get a sense of geography during the book of Jeremiah?

Jeremiah chapter 49 is an excellent biblical resource concerning geography. Much of the book of Jeremiah concerns prophecies made by the prophet Jeremiah to all of Israel concerning the impending siege of the Kingdom of Judah, Southern Israel, by King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Babylon was a city 750 miles east of Jerusalem that corresponds to present-day Babylon Governorate, Iraq. Jeremiah does not stop there, however, he also warns the Ammonites (Jordanians), the people of Ai ( a city ten miles north of Jerusalem), the Edomites (Transjordanians), the people of Kedar (Saudi Arabia), and the Syrians of Damascus, Syria that their days as sovereign nations are numbered as well; Jeremiah prophecies that the Babylonians are sure to besiege them also as a part of their conquest of the near-east. Jeremiah 49:21 reads, “The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry thereof was heard in the Red Sea.” This verse illustrates the devastation at which the Babylonians would conquer the nations of the near-east. The Red Sea, as spoken of in Jeremiah 49:21, is the sea that divides N.E. Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. By 568 B.C., the Babylonian Empire had absorbed all of the above-named kingdoms and the Kingdom of Egypt. Much of the conquest of the Babylonian Empire, as well as the respective locations of the Levantine kingdoms of the biblical Iron Age, can be referenced from Jeremiah chapter 49.
