AccessToInsight has A Path to Freedom: A Self-guided Tour of the Buddha's Teachings and the General Index by subject. Both of these are helpful.

The book "In the Buddha's Words" by Bhikkhu Bodhi is an excellent anthology of the suttas. The PDF version can be found here.

I strongly recommend this anthology as an authoritative outline of the most important concepts of the teachings, and I quote it below.

However, the sutta translations below may not all be from Bhikkhu Bodhi. They all come from SuttaCentral, instead of the book. Also, some of the sutta numbers, especially those of Anguttara Nikaya, may not match the book, but they refer to the same suttas.
