I came across this website some time ago, some of you may have seen it, but it's always worth a look. Make sure you have some time to sit and explore, it's a biggie:

The author of the site has completely mapped the world. Just to speed things along, here are some direct links to the maps. (Which he made in Photoshop) I think they are outstanding, myself:

He was also kind enough to include on the site a fairly comprehensive tutorial on his techniques:

Hope this kicks everyone's creative juices in to overdrive for the new year.
