However their design looks more like the ones in the film, suggesting that they could be props for the new land.

Originally Posted By Nobody I think it's probably safe to say that at least from certain vantage points the mountains will hide the poser lines. Now, regarding the artwork, I'm not sure what to think. Clearly, the rock-work was sketched in blue while the power pole/lines and another structure were sketched in red. The wishful thinking seems to be that red represents things hidden by the rocks. If so, what is the structure shown in the center? To me, it almost looks like the structure is the fire station at the end of the road, in which case would lead me to believe that it and the poles are part of the visible theming. Hmmm....
