While I like the idea, I don't think every setting ever published is feasible. For one, a lot of them were licensed and they no longer have the rights.
Thanks for the response Lawngnome. WotC owns outright all of the settings I show above, except for two: Dragonfist was reportedly gifted or sold by WotC to its author Chris Pramas, and there are unconfirmed reports that WotC doesn't wholly own the rights to the D&D Cartoon Show. As far as I know, WotC still owns the rights to all the published Blackmoor materials (except for the old First Fantasy Campaign from Judges Guild).
I purposely didn't include the D&D settings which were never owned by TSR or WotC (Lankhmar, Conan/Red Sonja, Diablo II, Kingdoms of Kalamar, Warcraft)
But more importantly trying to put 40 years of settings into one book would be a massive undertaking, not to mention a massive book. Now a book with maps and basic details of all the major campaigns would be more feasible. Basically all the ones that had a boxed set or hard cover campaign setting.
This atlas wouldn't have to be any bigger than an ordinary hardcover. There'd be a two-page spread for each of the major worlds, showing their world map. Plus a solar system chart for each. Then close up maps of the main continents, and country-by-country maps and maps of key locations. There'd only be as many maps as would fit in an ordinary book. The lesser settings such as Jakandor and Council of Wyrms would only be one page each.
It wouldn't have to be that big of an undertaking. Just chain the WotC map guy to his desk and have him redraw all the maps in 5E style. Or if you want to make it easier, just copy and paste the maps as they are. That alone would still be a nifty book.
