I see mountains in that upper left hand corner. Mount Olympus and Mount Helicon(home of the muses, and consequently, the site of the Musehome) wouldn't .... er.... happen to be on the map, would they...!??? 
Both the Musehome(A420661) and Mount Olympus(Apollo knows) are legitimate h2g2 communities... I understand you have got to be selective about what gets on the map, and I'm not entirely clear on whether or not you want input on expanding it... I-- just-- thought I would try...
You contributed half the POST this week!!!

That's as may be, but the map is in no way complete, Dragonfly... I think the idea is to search out more places on h2g2 to put on it.
Of course, attempting to put my Ministry of Magecraft on the map would be futile, as it exists in a vacuole outside normal reality, but there is an access point next to the Alabaster House which is ideal for use by visitors...

The Map was actually drawn by Amy The Ant last year, and she originally intended to draw a series of them which would interlock, showing what is North, East and West of this map... But she didn't... So from now on the series will be words only I'm afraid.
I'm thinking about visiting the Church of the Beatles next...

I did more 
. I did this http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A413308 and a map of Vavoom which I appear to have mislaid. Perhaps I left it in the Antmobile - you know how it is with maps.

If you'd waited, you might not have bumped into it. Bet you can't now!

Sorry Amy!
I think that you were extremely brave to start all this.

One could argue that she didn't know entirely what she'd be getting in for when she started...
Then again, one could argue the opposite as well.

One could argue just for the sake of arguing.
