Found this interesting map of the Steampunk novel landscape.
Created by writer Louise Curtis, she writes about Steampunk on Tuesdays.
She has this to say about the map:
Yes, it’s finally here! My idea of what a map of steampunk might look

you like, with a link back here.
Caveat #1: This is only books (I tried to make it only novels, or at least novelists).
Caveat #2: I’m only one person. This was a big job, and I chose to
oversimplify rather than make it my life’s work. Also, there are some
errors. And, as you can tell, I chose to finish the map this year rather
than take longer and make it bigger, prettier, and funnier. And yes, I
read and write mainly young adult, which is also obvious at a glance.
Caveat #3: More is being written all the time. Tell us about your favourite steampunk in the comments!
There follows a linked list of all her Steampunk novel reviews.
Here is the map (gotta love whiteboards!):
