You've seen majority of it on the loading screens, but it was in two parts and some locations near the edges had to be cut off to fit loading screen's required size and proportion, so here you have it at its finest.
Some locations are surely well known to you like Dalaran, the Capital City or Alterac City, but we mixed them with ones that are completely new like Vimthurn and Perenolde Pass. We came from the assumption that Azeroth is HUGE - much more than we can deduct from World of Warcraft which shrinked it for the needs of MMORPG - as main factions in Azeroth clearly need lots of space, resources and population to host armies and wage wars on a scale we see in WC3 campaigns. Therefore between the known locations there may still be plenty of towns, villages, forts and ruins just waiting to be explored. Also, in some cases we deliberately chose to design locations completely differently than Blizz did, the best example being Alterac City which is now a full-fledged (ruined) fortress rather than a tiny castle.
The map was made in Inkarnate which by the way we strongly recommend, both for mapmaking for professional projects and just turning your various crazy ideas into beautiful maps.
