Did any fan ever try to create a consistent map of Gilligan’s Island?
One that allows for all the locations that the weird things that happened at?
A Google search turns up these, non of which are particularly impressive. The problem is that like most ‘high-concept’ 60s sitcoms the writers had no obligation nor motivation for consistancy whatsoever!
How about a fan-generated map?
There were a couple of maps shown in episodes but they contradicted each other.
Maybe you can get Spanish artist (and interior decorator) Ifaki Lizarrald to make a map for you. Or maybe just the inside of the huts.
The picture isn’t the easiest to see the details but this one is pretty good. I remember seeing a book many years ago that had blue prints of many 60s and 70s shows sets as if they were real and I am pretty sure one of them was the Island in GI and this was it but I could be wrong.
Wait a minute, are those the huts around the common area? No way the island is that small! There was a friggin’ volcano on the island!
I know, right? and whenever they talked about something being “on the other side of the island” it sounded like it was a major expedition to get there.
anyone else like to say the word “lagoon”? such a lovely word LA GOOOOOOON :o
And yet what Gilligan’s Island had was not a lagoon; it was more like a bay or cove.
And yet strangely uncharted.
what? that can’t be right. nobody wants to meet down at the* cove.* :mad:

I think it’s well established that whatever the Professor was a professor of, it wasn’t geography.
Not to be a party-pooper but just a quick reality check:
We are talking about a show that in one episode had a gorilla throw a Frisbee-like device into the ocean that turned out to be an atomic bomb! 
But all islands have gorillas. Everyone knows that.
I’m just surprised that Gilligan et al never bumped into the folks from the Dharma Initiative.
so I’m watching The Sixties on CNN, the episode on the space race. They show a clip from GI. In the episode where the Russian(?) space craft flies over the island. The castaways made a giant SOS. Of course Gilligan kicks it changing an S into an L. The astronauts(cosmonauts) think it is Sol, one of their names. But when looking down it shows the outline of the island.
I don’t have the talent to find or link it but someone could from either the GI episode or The Sixties episode.
But there’s also this. I’m sure none of this was ever written with the assumption that two parts of the show would ever be called into question as contradictory.
Either way, I’d say that this is probably the closest representation to what it looks like. Although, your image makes more sense with the amount of references they make to ‘the other side of the island’
Two different episodes: The cosmonauts were the ones who landed on the island; the island was overflown by a Gemini mission.
My headcanon of the island is that one side of the island is taken up by a volcanic peak with steep cliffs at the ocean and numerous caves. The castaways side is mostly flat and includes the “lagoon”.
ETA: of course, reconciling any of this with the on-location footage featured in the B&W first season is probably impossible.
It’s a Schroedinger’s Island. Every night they go to sleep. Every morning when they wake up, the island is different. In size, in topology, in features, in location.
