There are many maps about the spread of IE languages but very few about Uralic languages. Ones I've seen are often based on very old (and now obsolete) knowledge.

Here is linguistic map about the dispersal of Uralic languages based on "conclusions of Uralicists ala 2010".

Some stages are missing (like Balto Finnic fex) but the map gives a broad general over view.

Exact location that has been identified as proto-Uralic urheimat (identified by reconstructed proto-Uralic nature terms and loanword strata from PIE and proto-Indo-Iranic aka "Aryan").
