Really? The clearing in the forest may have been a circle, but the dirt on the ground (which didn't Ecko say was salted?) was clearly a question mark.

I can see a sort of question mark in the photo if I try hard enough, but if you didn't know what to look for, the only thing you could see would be a circle.

Also, the ? may not be a hatch - it may be an area that the map-drawer could not access. It could be anything.
It would be easy to categorize it as "obvious", but that would be a huge mistake with this show.

More on the shark:
Comes from one of the pages that ABC created for the online game. That's convincingly the Swan logo, which makes no sense, as the Swan station is supposed to be for geo-magnetic phenomena.

Maybe a stretch, but sharks can detect magnetic fields.

It's not directly N/S. It's at an angle. Blow it up with your favorite imaging software.

regarding the map ... it would appear that the person(s) that created the map actually entered each of the hatches and made their way in them until they were not able to continue in that given hatch.
Now, considering that the map maker seemed to know which direction he was heading, he would than know that all paths were heading toward a central point.
Could the "x" marks signal where the blast doors came down as the person was exploring? And, if the person mapping was in the hatches, where the heck were the Others while this was going on - just standing around watching?

The printout from the Pearl make me think it's some kind of time with the colon. Could it be hours:minutes? Divide by 108 to figure roughly how many times the numbers have been entered?
If the spoiler about the season finale is right,

Spoiler:
We've seen in clips the grey "things" whizzing about when the first plane crashed. Maybe this is a result of another station making a mistake.
