I would point out the one that is wrong, but it's probably obvious.

ARIZONA should be Arizona to keep standard font for US states. Or Arkansas should be ARKANSAS. This appears only to be an issue where a state is also the name for a river, i.e. Mississippi.

On the India map, isn't the tributary of the Indus that runs through the Punjab South of Multan the "Sutlej", not "Sutlei" ? My wife's house at her secondary school in New Delhi was "Sutlej", and it's a better transliteration of the Hindi than anything else.

The Royal Indian Navy sloops of the Bittern-class were named after rivers and Sutlej was spelt with a J not an I - so you may be right.

I noticed Pitcairn Islands on the list. Isn't it either Pitcairn's Island or Pitcairn Island?

Yes, I did read Nordoff and Hall.

I don`t know what Nordoff and Hall is/are but I have always understood Pitcairn Islands to be the correct term. Pitcairn is just one of the island group so when talking about the only inhabited island you refer to Pitcairn Island, but the island group is Pitcairn Islands. I think this is right as it is.

They wrote the trilogy, Mutiny on the Bounty, Men Against the Sea, and Pitcairn's Island. I always thought there was just the one island and I thought it was named Pitcairn's Island. But according to Wikipedia: The Pitcairn Islands are officially named the Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands, and are a group of four volcanic islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. The islands are a British overseas territory (formerly a British colony), the last remaining in the Pacific. The names of the islands are Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie, and Oeno; only Pitcairn, the second largest, is inhabited.

Patrice: if you would post the maps somewhere, it would be much easier to proof. As it is, I look up names I do not recognize and then go to google or Wiki. If the maps are there, I can check with my maps.

My problem is that I'm limited as to the size of the image I can post.
I will look at what I can do.
