Click to enlarge. That Hollywood of the mind is the subject of this exhaustive cartographic experiment by British designers Dorothy, who yanked assorted avenues and parks and rivers off the silver screen and plotted them out on paper to create a fictional map of the movies--a fantasy world of the ultimate fantasy world.

The map, a followup to the designers’ comprehensive atlas of song names, is loosely based on a vintage street map of Los Angeles and features more than 900 places in films, including Sunset Boulevard, Mean Streets, Nightmare on Elm Street, Valley of the Dolls, and Chinatown. “It took us months of research to pull this map together,” Dorothy’s Ali Johnson tells Co.Design.
