The geography on Mars and the Moon has been identified and named, right (i.e. "Haemus Mons" is the name of a mountain on Io).
I'm wondering if the same thing has been done for Star Wars planetary systems.
Tatooine has specific regions such as the Jundland Wastes and the Dune Sea, etc. Do other planets have similiar regions? Are there names for the plains of Hoth or the forests of Endor, etc?
I have to honestly say: I hope not, but probably. I'm all about details and minutea, but to the degree that people "fill out" the universe around the movies and books... it makes me a little sick and I find it to be a complete turn off.
IT'S MY TRILOGY, AND I WANT IT NOW!

"Yeah, well, George says a lot of things..." a young 1997 xhonzi on RASSM

Portions of several planets have been drawn/mapped in some of the "Inside the Worlds of Star Wars Episode 1". (those big Cross Section books) For instance, Naboo has an axonometric, there's a large scale Mos Espa, and a more detailed flat map of the pod race course. And there are a bunch of other maps at a town scale level.
http://www.starwars.com/vault/databank/ Has written descriptions (canon, EU & filmed location) information. So that might provide the overall list of places classified.
The Gaming guides might have full maps:
Kenner made small globes of several planets in the 90's, (with action figure dioramas inside) that depicted major locations in the films. I presume they had something from Lucasfilm to work from. They made a Death Star globe too.
I found the maps of Middle Earth fascinating when I was a teenager.
Where were you in '77?
