Map of the Venture Compound

Has anyone drawn up a detailed map of the compound?
We get plenty of delicious aerial shots, so it wouldn't be that hard. I just wanna know what all everything is.

Dean did. And put it in his newspaper. If you subscribe I'm sure you could get a copy.

I would only subscribe if it still smelled of memeograph fluid when it gets to my house .

Say, yeah. I'd really like to see this too. Should be pretty easy for someone to whip up, right?

That's actually why I registered here. I have been looking for a Venture Compound map since the season 4 finale aired.

 

I thought you guys might know where a map would be. Then I Googled it again (last time I didn't get anything but the same front view of the compound at an angle), and lo and behold, I found the blogs of some of the background artists. Jackpot! They didn't have any maps per se, but they had this:

 

compound image

 

 

And from this image, I have begun drawing an overhead map of the compound, like you would see on a college brochure of the campus or something. Nothing fancy, just vector art. The buildings will be rectangles (except for the round ones) etc. When I get it done, I will post it here.

 

Can anybody tell me which buildings are which? The circled one is their living quarters by the swimming pool. The hangar is obvious. And the geodesic dome is where the kid got mauled on Rusty Venture day, right?

 

Which of those factories is where Sphinx is located? And which building was the fallout shelter where Dr. Entman was locked up? What is that ball? And what is that beehive looking building?And where were the clones hidden? SO many questions...

 

I wish I could find  layouts of each different building on the campus.

 

Anyway, I might be done with the map tonight or tomorrow. I also have copies of all the production background paintings from Jackson's blog and from the blogs of the background artists I mentioned earlier--(the kitchen, living room, bathroom, the lab, the control room, the pool area, the Venture Industries lobby, the moving walkway,  X-1 cockpit, X-2 captain's quarters, Spiderskull Island, the office on the island, the Cocoon lounge, Impossible Industries lobby, The Masters lair, the bathysphere, Billy and White's bathroom in their trailer, Cremation Creek, and some others I can't think of off the top of my head.

Wow, thanks for the prompt reply. Yeah, that should cover it. Missile Silo is on the tarmack near the control room (S3E6), and the dome in the right corner should be "E-Den" (S3E5). The place on the left with the Smokestacks is the manufacturing wing seen in S3E2. 

 

I know theres a road around the compound, and thats its located in kind of a crater-esque formation in Colorado. Also nearby the compound is a residential neighbor that 24 is implied to live in.

Didn't get to do as much as I hoped but here are two maps. They are the same except for one of them has some stills from the show where I thought certain locations were. Please correct me if I put anything in the wrong place.

 

map layers 01

 

map no layers 02

 

The weather is about to get all freezy and nasty, so I might get some extra time to work on it this week, otherwise I can this weekend. 

 

cheers!

Fantastic! Thanks alot.

The only things that I see missed are:

* Manufacturing Wing's Picture on the Layers Version (http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1091/vlcsnap2011020911h53m19.p

)

* Sphinx Headquarters?

* Trees

* Barbed wire fence.

 

By the way, what program did you use to make these?

Photoshop.  The trees and fence will be added at some point. Where is SPHINX headquarters? I know not that.

Thanks.

I'll review through some episodes to see if I can pinpoint Sphinx.

Note that the moving walkway travels through the hangar at some point between the reception area and the rocket command center in the saucer section.

And I think Doc's & the boy's house is in the same building as Orpheus's house which doesn't seem to be too far from the clone chambers and Doc's lab. Brock's room was next to his herb garden which was by the pool. Hopefully these notes aren't too confusing by the way.

howdy, it's been awhile.Sorry.

 

Saw a cool map of the Venture compound on last night's episode (with the cylinders and the flashback to the blimp with Mark Twain, Alister Crowley, Oscar Wilde, et al. Billy Quizboy gets all the clues...anyway, I'll take the suggestions you've given, plus I'm a lot more familiar with the compound now--what's confusing is that the compound changes drastically from season 1 to season 2. But anyway. I'll update it and post it when I'm done.

 

Here's something fun!

Actually, the living quarters is that tiny building next to the saucer with the swimming pool.But according to JP's blog, the image of the pool i just linked to is off the living room. Basically off to the right of the LR image.

 

The moving walkway goes all over the place, and seems to start in the huge Venture Industries Lobby/reception area. Look at this image to the left and right of the lobby. and the image I used as a reference has the saucer clearly at the other end. Also, see how the moving walkway in the hangar is a little bit  different looking to the one in the main area. Another correction I need to make is the lab is the cylinder shaped building off the right of the main building.

 

Here's the devil--note how different these two versions are:  version 1, version 2.

 

So, in the version 2, image, which of those factory buildings is SPHINX? I assumed it would be the farthest one away.

 

In that same image, assuming we are east looking west, I have no idea what the two northwestern most buildings are (close to the EVE building). One looks like the parthenon, the other like the hall of doom or a church

Hmmm... That sounds reasonable. Keep in mind the version 2 seems to be a season 2 image and version 1 is a season 3 image. The S.P.H.I.N.X. building probably isn't even drawn in the season 2 image because Doc & Jackson had low detail backgrounds in their season 1 & 2 budgets. You should probably use the season 3 image because that's probably more... expressive of what Doc & Jackson want in a Venture compound. You'll notice the season 2 image has the hangar and the runway in totally different locations.

 

Anyway it seems Brock's room is down from the living room and that is by the pool and the herb garden. Doc and and the Boys' rooms are upstairs from the living room surely, and somehow those are connected to panic room via ducts which would have to be lower than the house area. I assumed the or a lab was connected to that but I guess that could be a different thing or something like a computer room or storage area. The living room is apparently connected to the camera/security/music room. The clone burial ground is between the sphere pyramid thing and the road. And it still looks to me like the clone maturation facility is somewhere in the main building around the saucer section and Orpheus' house. And the attic doesn't seem to far from the house area either. I may look for more things later.

Doctor Venture and Brock's rooms are underground. The big windows in Doc's room look out into the swimming pool. http://www.jimskipper.com/venture/Assassinanny203-1.png Or is that the quest room. It is the same room that Doc locks up the orb, in the safe behind the Mayan calendar.

 

In The Orb, while they are digging into the herb garden, they go sliding down into Brock's room.

http://www.jimskipper.com/venture/Midnight205-1.png But in this shot from 20 Minutes Until Midnight. Dr. Venture is in what appears to be his bathroom in an Art Deco section where the saucer wing is later. It is very confusing.
