This map may have been posted or mentioned here at some time in the past, but it was just re-posted to io9.com today and is a lot of fun to look at. It's quite old at this point, having been drawn about a century ago!

Wow, this is awesome. Thanks a lot for (re)posting Xpian! The names are quite excellent too!
One note: the image I embedded in the post above is one that I down-sampled from the high-res linked image. It's actually a good compromise of size and detail. While the high-res image is about 8,000 pixels across and clocks in at 19 MB, my embedded image is over 6,000 px across, has most of the detail, and is less than 5 MB. Over at io9.com, they've got the usual blocky, low-res web images on their blog post--as usual, you can't see many details.
