Not the point, as noted. And in any case, as I've also noted (and Vaj has conveniently ignored), what we see in the area of MMY's compound is not the natural lay of the land but a grid pattern of straight lines and 90-degree angles clearly imposed by humans. So there's no issue of MMY's compound not following the "natural" terrain in the first place; what it doesn't follow is the older human-made grid pattern.
