The open source genealogy program Gramps has some similar requirements. It uses a package "Graphviz" that has lots of charting options. The documentation for that package shows a network map as one example.
The other thing Gramps does is interface to map services like OpenStreetMap, which suggests ways to make a "geographic map".
