The Island Map

The LOST Island. It's big and mysterious. Having an interest in maps, this is a project I wanted to undertake in order to create a comprehensive and attractive map of all the major locations and landmarks on The Island. My tools to help me reach this goal will be maps from the show, fan consensus, the always-helpful LOSTpedia, and plain old logic in the face of any inconsistencies.

  • In this week’s episode, “Dr. Linus,” there was an interesting bit of dialogue between Jack and Hurley when they were discussing returning to the Temple. Jack states that if they leave immediately, they can reach the Temple by nightfall. We know that it’s the morning since Hurley says he wants breakfast. So we can assume that it’s about a twelve-hour hike from the Lighthouse back to the Temple. If we also assume that they were camping in the vicinity of the Lighthouse, they would still be 35-40 miles from the Temple. With an average adult walking speed of three miles per hour, we can calculate that the distance from the Lighthouse to the Temple, based on Jack’s estimation on how long it will take, is at least 36 miles. This helps us to confirm the locations of the Lighthouse and the Temple at the far southeast and northwest corners of The Island, respectively.
