replying on an old post again.
found this...thought it was fitting...The road that the map depicts was not just a plan but was actually built as Carlton Cuse stated in a interview: "the purpose of that map was just to establish that basically there was at one point a road that linked the Dharma stations but with 25 years of jungle growth those roads have been overgrown."
so this tells us it must have been 25 years since the purge?? if so, doesn't look like ben's been aging much either...
here are some more random things i found about said map...
As indicated by the switchback road and the contour lines, the station is located at the lowermost point in the area.
The groundplan of the station differs from that of the Swan as seen on the blast door map.
The © is on the same level as the station
'South' of the Station lies another low level. The low levels are separated by a small, steep mountain
If the lines are indeed contour lines, then the switchbacks on the road are an anomaly as the road has the switchbacks on the shallowest slope (The closer together the lines; the steeper the slope)
The road map is clearly marked with a C in a circle, the DHARMA cabling map is marked with a B in a circle.
