Anyone think that the 3 circles with red dots in the center on the map is meant to be the three towers of the hospital with the center dot being the largest (since the center tower is largest and has the windows/staircase) to help us find the staircase depicted in the drawing? Cant find anything else that would fit the bill.. yet anyway..

That circular pathway might fit the bill... so far the images seem to confirm the location--not suggest that we visit the place.
Let's try to keep our thoughts on Earth here, I've been reading some wild sci fi coming out of a simple scanned image...

According to http://community.livejournal.com/abandonedplaces/730732.html it mentions that on the 3rd floor of the admin building was the staff quarters.
The "3rd" part of the map might just make the point that someone was a staff member at FFSH.

Well it is a Map... So I remember taking a geology class and having to create a topographic map that contain certain symbols at certain points. The few projects I got an A+ on. Anyway I thought of map symbols when I saw those weird red dots. so here is a pic with a guide of map symbols...

Earthwall or wall? is the clue near a wall at the ffsh site?

So I was reading this again and I know the date of the article is off, but for some reason I feel there is a clue here. The article may be OOG but perhaps the PMs want us to read about Fergus Falls? Here is why I am intrigued:
Quote:
Evelyn was one of Marcia's best friends at the hospital. She was in her 20s and they played together almost everyday. Marcia remembered: "I asked my dad why [she was] there and he would talk to me like an adult. My dad told me Evelyn was a paranoid schizophrenic."
and then in the comments:

Marcia wondering if by some outside chance my last name rings a bell?

To David Vaughan: No David, your name is not ringing any immediate bells, but of course now I am curious to know why you ask.
Maybe I am reacing but could the name Vaughn hold some significance?

In looking for pictures and information of what's on the third floor at Fergus State Hospital I found this post from a lady named Marcia at StoryCorps.org

It was a fascinating childhood. We lived on the third floor in the front of the main building you see in the picture! I treasure the memories and the lessons I learned while having these unique experiences. Thank you Evelyn, and to my Mom and Dad for helping me understand that each person is unique and that the labels our society places on people aren't really very important!

Probably OOG as it's from '09 but the Evelyn (a patient) mention caught my eye.

You mean like if I take the numbers on the map to read 11.89.12.68
And I search those numbers as a IP address?
And the adress comes up as 3990 E Broad St Columbus, OH 43213
And the addresses at that location are
Civil Air Patrol-Ohio Wing -
Defense Supply Center -
Government Liquidations -
US Defense Department -
US Naval Reserve -

Hmm... Columbus is a lot closer to Weirton. I'm not one to go storming a Dept. of Defense facility, but maybe the gov't liquidations part is open to the public - like a gov't surplus store. Sounds like a good possibility Jane.

Oh no that was just some crazy ramblings, I really don't think there is a connection. I was just commenting on how easy links can be made and ideas can get wild.

Wondering if the numbers might be from a list of numbers that we need to decipher somehow somewhere..like...
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.89
12.68
etc..
The 11 and 12 being consecutive numbers seems intriguing..

Hehe, funny thing. I am very sure, it's a coincidence, that this IP has some military connections
http://www.ip-adress.com/whois/11.89.12.68
Just for information: PMs aren't playing with military. So if you see some .mil-related adresses, you can be sure, they are OOG.
After all: "Don't bruteforce airforce". There were some... ehm... precedents, and I don't want Unfiction to be closed because of some... well, you know.

It would be kinda weird for these to be an IP since this map is from the late 70's and they didnt have the innernets up yet.

I'm absolutely n00b at this one, but didn't ARPAnet had something like IPs? (Well, I actually don't think those numbers on the maps are IPs)

According to Wikipedia TCP replaced NCP in ARPANet in 1983
