Is this trademark for real?

It took 3 years for this?

The name "JOE" identifies a living individual whose consent is of record.
Do you know how many people they had to ask?

Seriously, though, this kind of thing happens often. Someone intending to register a logo or particular phrase will send in an entire product label as the drawing of the mark, intending it to be a specimen of how the mark is used. Then they find out that they can't substantially amend the drawing, so they end up with the entire label as the registered "mark".

No, they are all disclaimed. He's attempting to register the map as a mark, which indicates he doesn't know the difference between a trademark and a copyright.
