As far as generalizations go, the descriptions of the wines of each village are accurate. Unfortunately, the map did not consider Verduno major enough to describe; some really pretty wines and some excellent producers up there.
It's difficult to find good resources on Barolo in English, but this one is indispensable: http://www.amazon.com/Wine-Atlas-La...=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1286990327&sr=1-2.

As should be obvious from my blog post (thanks for the shout, Jeff), I second both Claude's recommendation for the "Wine Atlas of the Langhe" and Jeff's for the maps of Alessandro Masnaghetti.
I checked in with Masnaghetti who confirms that his map of Verduno, which will also cover Grinzane Cavour and Diano d'Alba, is due for publication on October 23.

Does this map strike you as accurate/helpful? Or just spoofy?

Also, what are your definitive resources on Barolo and Italian wine in general?
It seems that it's hard to find something that's both current and in-depth.
Mostly, I refer to blogs to keep up with Italian wine. Seriously.
But when it comes to books, I often turn to volumes from Nicolas Belfrage, Sheldon Wasserman, Victor Hazan, and David Lynch. Each of those has positives and drawbacks. I also find stuff in the Oxford Companion, and in Matt Kramer's book on Italian wines. There are a few others around the house. But really, there isn't one definitive resource, even if you limit the discussion to Barolo. I learned the most from visiting the region. What I read is mostly just footnotes to the visit.
