well it is, so this is the best I can do

I found these:

TdF map overview: http://www.beyond.fr/map/mptdf2004.html
TdF map detail (stages 15-18): http://www.beyond.fr/map/mptdf03e.html

I couldn't find a detailed map of the actual route. From the SBS web site:

"This Time Trial up the famous L'Alpe d'Huez (Hors Categorie) starts with a
flat 1.7km stretch but then it's the 13.8km climb at an average grade of 7.8
percent, with 21 switchbacks to the summit."
