One minor revision before the finale this weekend:

After this week’s discussion about the Black Rock, it does make sense that the ship would not have ended up on the upper ridge of the eastern mountains. So I’ve moved it out of the highlands to the base of the mountains near the Mesa. This location is still consistent with the notation on the blast door map, but also satisfies the need for some logic, at least as much as it can be satisfied when we’re talking about LOST.

Everyone enjoy the finale this weekend, and look for another update sometime next week.

In the past, I rationalized not adding Jacob’s cabin to the map because it had been burned to the ground. Now the Black Rock has suffered the same fate, but I’m not going to remove it from the map.

Jacob’s cabin was obviously important, but we had no way to know it’s exact location. The Black Rock, on the other hand, was one of a very few confirmed locations on the blast door map, making it a significant landmark which helped to determine the positions of other Island locations. Additionally, many really significant events have occurred at the Black Rock during the course of the story of The Island. For those reasons, I think it should remain on the map, regardless of its current condition.

According to Rousseau, the radio tower is “up by the Black Rock,” however the information collected so far suggest that while they are both located in the southern areas of The Island, they are on separate mountain ranges.

This is one of those instances where Danielle’s questionable sanity must lead us to disregard her statements about locations on The Island.
