Found out my favorite fantasy map had a hidden easter egg for 10 years

I was rewatching a worldbuilding video on youtube last night and the creator pointed out a tiny island shaped like a dragon on a map I've stared at for a decade. Turned out the author hid it in the corner of every chapter header in the book series. I literally had the book open on my lap and checked, it's there. Anybody else ever find hidden details way later in a book or map than they should have?

Mark chapter one with a sticky note so you don't miss the next one for another decade.

Totally feel you on this one... I've had books sitting on my nightstand for years because I got distracted after the first chapter. Actually did that with a Brandon Sanderson novel once, put it down for six months and then had to start all over again because I forgot the setup. Sticky notes are a solid plan, might steal that trick for my current read.
