I found this map recently and was really intrigued by the amount of detail that went into creating it.  The designer that created the illustration spent five months combing real and fictional locations and people into the landmasses of the map.  The map has been circulating around the web for quite some time, but it is still quite incredible.

A more detailed look at the specifics of the map can be found here.

As it turns out, the map is available for purchase.  Add that to the holiday shopping lists of your favorite blogger.
