I am somewhat unfamiliar with the geography of central europe and none of the map filters really seem to properly orient me. Can anyone recommend a website or provide a link or something to a map of this area that I can print out to help...preferably a map drawn according to 7 yrs war period geography.

You mean geography? I think you dont need 18c map for it but if you are interested in political setup -> 1789 map of HRE - with some minor correction you can find out about 1756 borders in this area

Yes, geography. I want to see where the rivers,mountains and towns are located... But mainly, as you corrected me, the political boundaries. I want to see the boundaries of Poland, Hesse,hannover etc. I think these maps will work as I just want to have one next to me while I play for quick reference.

Thanks for the links guys

Wikipedia has a decent political map (large and German!):

Here is a decent physical map that shows mountains and rivers at a quick glance:
