While not explicitly identified, the station is likely referenced by the notation referring to a "possible manufacturing facility with light industrial equipment."Įnhanced close-up of date Math, equations, science

According to the March 10th Podcast, the Tempest is referenced on the blast door map.

There are two references to a mountain location dedicated to meteorology research and another mentions a listening station devoted to communication analysis and cryptographic research.

Several notations hint that additional as-yet unseen DHARMA facilities may exist.

A similar note referring a ground study being carried out on Island flora is likely a reference to the Orchid.

Annotations pertaining to a zoological station and experiments being carried out on Ursus Maritimus is a clear reference to the Hydra.

By contrast, the majority of the notations written in English address the various stations, references to an incident, possible shutdowns, a Cerberus system, the Periodic Resupply Drop, and a DharmaTel network. The Latin phrases appear to be more of a running commentary. The notes can be grouped into four general categories: English commentary, Latin commentary, mathematical equations and labels (the Swan, the Flame, CVIII, etc).

The notes are written in several scripts, suggesting multiple contributors. The map also contains a note at about four o'clock referencing the "Known final resting place of Magnus Hanso/ Black Rock."."CV" was later revealed in the jigsaw puzzles to stand for " Cerberus Vent".

These are numbered sequentially counter-clockwise one through four. A number of other structures appear around the periphery of the map marked "CV".The LOST Encyclopedia notes that "C3" on the blast door map is the location of an unseen and/or un-built meteorological station that acording to the map is located at a high elevation. (" ?") The crossed out "C1" station labelled unknown by the original creator of the map, Radzinsky, was the Orchid, however Radzinsky was unaware of the station's function. The central location, indicated by the question mark at the center of the map was later identified as the Pearl. Four of the stations appear with names and logos: the Arrow, the Staff, the Flame, and the Swan. All the stations appear to be pointing towards the center of the Island, represented on the map by a large question mark. The hidden map shows the location of six stations with a seventh crossed out. Likely a combination of information and guesswork on the part of its creators, the map does not appear to be entirely accurate. There were at least two types of notations: printed notes in English, informed and factual and more speculative philosophical musings in Latin written in cursive. There are numerous handwritten notations across the blast door map. The second spectrum of the map includes more geographical locations and notations. In the semi-canon video game, Via Domus, there are two spectrum levels of the map, which can be seen under different lighting conditions. Black lights switched on, revealing the map. Locke saw the blast door map for the first and only time in episode " Lockdown" while trapped under the blast door during the lockdown incident. Likely other mixtures were used to create the different colours. The Via Domus blast door map with new notationsĭHARMA laundry detergent was at least one of the substances used as "paint" on the map. It is unknown if Desmond ever contributed to the map.

Kelvin described Radzinsky as having a photographic memory, allowing him to remember exactly where he left off. Following Radzinsky's suicide, Kelvin continued working on the map, albeit at a much slower pace. The map's creators were forced to work blindly, as the map could only be seen under conditions when the Swan was illuminated with black-light. He and his partner, Kelvin Inman, regularly forced a lockdown to engage the blast doors in order to continue their work on the map. Stuart Radzinsky, a DHARMA Initiative member and architect of the Swan station, originally created the map.
