Wikipedia has images that can give a vague idea of the geographic shift (which I like especially because they show which districts flipped in the election). It looks to me that some of the major shifts were independent of gerrymandering (e.g. Dakotas becoming solidly Republican, Dem control solidifying over coastal Pacific and around NYC), while others might have been tied to it (e.g. compaction of Dem control in UT, AL, MS).
