This is the best map picture we have at the moment. When we can get a better one, we'll post it.

You will. They confirmed that specifically in the panel.

Looks like a nice little screendump of the Livestream :P

So we didn't know what's around tanaris, it wasn't a coastline, but a zone :D

Can't wait to play Worgen :D

In Tanaris now there's a locked gate in the south-west (I believe) guarded by lvl 60 elite mobs. This I believe is where Uldum is supposed to be (or at least that's how it is right now in the WotLK era).

from the looks of it Uldum is awfully close to Ahn'Qiraj, maybe there is a chance of some bugs leaking into the titan zone?

So does this map mean that there won't ever be a South Seas expansion?

Saurfang tried to sunder Barrens Chat, but he was so powerful he sundered the whole zone instead!

Is that a dragon or a giant humming bird in Deepholm?

I'm pretty sure that says:

"Located inside the Elemental Plane of Earth"

under the Deepholm inset.

So what are the yellow areas? I know it's not water, because the WoW.com post said "Darkshore is flooded" and that's untouched.

Also, when is this "cataclysm" release supposed to happen--2010, 2011?

I think you're looking at the picture on the front page of the article, at the bottom of the article there are other pictures. I am, of course, talking about the picture of the map of Deepholm, and not the little caption on the main map.

Just something to notice, but that little area west of Tirisfal and surrounded by mountains is still on the new maps. Just something to notice. ;)

These maps aren't to scale, they're just for gisting purposes. However, we'll find out eventually, though, since flyers are going to be allowed in the old world.

Just had a nerdgasm.

Found a high-quality version of the map, courtesy of the BlizzCon recap page.
