Do you need a map for a new campaign?
One that doesn't look like it was drawn by a 12 year old? One that doesn't look Africa [or wherever] flipped upside down? One with some realistic geography and geology?

Well, I may just have an answer for you... and it's one I'll be using in my home 'Atlantis, sort of' game.

Take a look at Antarctica with the ice melted! This is pretty frikkin' nifty. Note that colors express elevation only, not vegetation.

Have fun!

Nice map, but also a contemporary possibility in the real world.

Not likely in our lifetimes, but I'm well aware of the danger. The effect of a continental mass 2.5 MILES deep of fresh water ice entering the oceans is pretty freaking dire.

I would be more concerned with what made all the ice in Antarctica melt. 

That is far more dangerous than the consequences.

A lot of Antarctica is below sea level, corresponding with the 'Atlantean' bits of your map @svensson

So if something does happen to the ice, eg. the Thwaites "Doomsday" Glacier, we could get closer to the 'Atlantis' version above pretty quickly.
