Have you seen Terrible Maps?
Perhaps on Facebook or Instagram?
Terrible Maps: Hilarious Maps for a Ridiculous World? It's referred to as the "ultimate gift book for the budding geographer or anyone who wants to have a laugh."

Murphy is certainly believable in Ireland; I was surprised about Smith and Jones in the U.K.
