OK Here are my additions...
I'm sure some of this has been noticed befor but I'll throw it all in here for reference.
The blue "table map" clearly shows the outline of the colony complex and positions it in relation to the AP. AP being off to the upper right of this image (at the other end of the tunnel) as we know.
The dimensions of the complex on the table map are not 100% accurate but it is apparently a stylised map.

This layout does not agree with the mininature photo provded by Gio, which suggests that they either had the AP in the wrong place in the model (space constraints perhaphs) or perhaphs the AP model was relocted sometime after this photo was taken. We'd need to study the movie footage more to find out.
(According to the map, the AP should be off to the right of this image, not in the background as we see here.)

Having an idea of the layout of the table map... and as we saw in the movie (and in the photo's on the first page) zooming in from here:

I think we can orient that 'corridoor view' on the overview roughly as shown.
