Here's a world map with accurate topography and very low-key borders.
Here's a quite nice watercolor map.
Here's a reproduction of an antique map of ocean currents and shipping routes.
Here's a map of famous flight paths around the world.
I recommend these instead of Sharpies...

You can sometimes find the 4 pen package at walmart.
If you do go with Sharpie, they now make a pen that has less bleed than the regular precision tip markers, but they still bleed more than the prismacolors.
You should check on local art stores, they have all sorts of cool stuff that you can often try out before purchasing.
Cool! Here are a couple of resources that I know about:
This is a political map but it's huge

Well, I found it after a bit of hunting.
City Works by mike mearls, a legends and lairs supplement for D&D third edition.
https://www.amazon.com/Legends-Lairs-Works-Mike-Mearls/dp/1589940970
The city building chapter it had was what I was trying to recall.
you could consider this book from 2000 (you can peek inside on Amz): https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Imaginary-Places-Updated-Expanded/dp/0156008726/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484468189&sr=8-1&keywords=imaginary+places
If you haven't already found it yourself, I tried googling the names in the picture and I think it's Making Maps, Second Edition: A Visual Guide to Map Design for GIS.
Here is the mobile version of your link
This is Lathania. A world of machiavellian gods, corrupt rulers and reluctant heroes.
The hegemony of Carrid is coming to an end and powerful forces are schemeing to tip the continent back into total war.
I started the project trying to map todays real world geo politics into a fantasy form, but the manuscript took a life of its own and "The Ravens of Carrid Tower" was born.
Carrid Tower holds a million souls within its walls and is the dominant civilisation in Lathania.
The Quoroubi desert has been taken over by a cannibal death cult.
The Empire of Narubez seeks to overthrow the peace of Carrid.
A queen is crowned in Drorea.
Pirates terrorize the coast.
A boy travels alone to seek his fortune in Talon.
War is coming. Kingdoms will fall. Heroes will be made.

The book is free on Kindle for the next 4 days if anyone wants a copy.

The book Proxima by Stephen Baxter involves a tidally locked world, and he goes into to some of the climate and biology.
I can't actually recommend the book for the story: A few clever ideas, decent execution, but mostly horrible characters, several strange and unneeded plot twists, and let's not forget the surprise cannibalism and Romans Legionnaires!
tldr; Skim it for the world building, skip the actual story.
