I'd like to create a term network analysis plot based on certain word associations in R but I don't know how to go beyond plotting a entire Term Document Matrix:

# Network analysis
library(igraph)
# load tdm data

# create matrix
Neg.m <- as.matrix(Ntdm_nonsparse)

# to boolean matrix
Neg.m[Neg.m>=1] <- 1

# to term adjacency matrix
# %*% is product of 2 matrices
Neg.m2 <- Neg.m %*% t(Neg.m)
Neg.m2[5:10,5:10]

# build graph with igraph ####
library(igraph)
# build adjacency graph
Neg.g <- graph.adjacency(Neg.m2, weighted=TRUE, mode="undirected")
# remove loops
Neg.g <- simplify(Neg.g)
# set labels and degrees of vertices
V(Neg.g)$label <- V(Neg.g)$name
V(Neg.g)$degree <- degree(Neg.g)

# plot layout fruchterman.reingold
layout1 <- layout.fruchterman.reingold(Neg.g)
plot(Neg.g, layout=layout1, vertex.size=20, 
     vertex.label.color="darkred")

Is there anyway to apply a word associations network analysis plot to (as well as a general word associations bar plot) the following findAssocs data for example?:

findAssocs(Ntdm, "verizon", .06)
$verizon

In other words, I'd like to visualize the connections a specific keyword has with other keywords in R but I don't know how.

Follow the example in ?word_network_plot (package qdap).
