Verne's predictions of what 100 years in the future would look like seem remarkably prescient.

Has anyone done a map of the places Verne wrote about?

I have a book of maps of all of the voyages from every Jules Verne book somewhere at home, so that has been done.

Also, scans of every original map from Jules Verne's Extraodinary Voyages

NC Wyeth painted the illustrations for the colour plates in a 1959 edition of The Mysterious Island. His use of colour is quite stunning.
