A-MAZE-ING

ORGANIZATION  and  ROUTE  LIST

FIGURE 1  Composite of Features

Given reasonable degrees of freedom, this place does show order.  There are 4 major faces, North, East, West, and South, and a crisscrossing network of "hallways" is found throughout the interior.  There are two principal Hallways, one with an entrance at 'A' and one at 'B' - shown in Figure 1, a composite showing all features in one image.  Hallway A is more extensive while B constricts down within a short distance, allowing less ingress.  This is shown in Figure 2.  Each of these 'areas' is treated separately with more detail.  Get to each by clicking on the appropriate link.
