Hello, hollee-ga;

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is also known as the "West
Wind Drift."  (This is stated in at least two of the articles
below.)

This page provides three maps of the current:
"Antarctic Circumpolar Current"

The above article is also available as a PDF document from
http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/fahan_mi_shipwrecks/infohut/pdfs/acc.pdf

This article has a plot of the current's location (though not
quite as readable):

From CSIRO Marine Research:

Here is a pretty lengthy article with several maps and an
explanation of why ocean currents form:
