Nostalgia for The X-Files is at an all-time high now that the show's six-episode miniseries revival is set to premiere this Sunday. There probably isn’t time left for a full-series re-watch if you haven’t started one already, but now there is a way to brush up on all the far-flung cases Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) worked on over the course of their investigations.

Using Jane Robert’s Mapping the X-Files project as a guide, Katy DeCorah of Mapbox has created an interactive diagram for every single episode location across the world, including approximate pins for fictional places. It's as exhaustive as it is immersive, and considering that X-Files is one of the first series to gain cult status thanks to the Internet, it's also a fitting interactive upgrade to the X-Phile pastime of chronicling everything.

Locations and summaries for all 202 episodes are included, so fans can scroll through the full list to refresh their memories before the new episodes begin. The map also has data for multi-location episodes—like the two-parter “Tunguska”/“Term,” which went from Russia and Florida to Hawaii and Maryland—and even a few Easter eggs Mapbox left for fans to find. After all, it wouldn’t be X-Files-related if there wasn’t a little extra digging to be done in order to uncover the truth.
