Desolation Point

So its pretty fair to say that Desolation Point is the least popular map with players here in the forums

 and my question is: what's the point of going?

 

According to the map of the island (https://www.google.ca/search?q=long+dark+map&espv=2&biw=638&bih=726&tbm=isch&imgil=GhkqWPizsZJ4YM%3A%3B75hG5duv9ueFNM%3Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fsteamcommunity.com%252Fsharedfiles%252Ffiledetails%252F%253Fid%25253D530202531&source=iu&pf=m&fir=GhkqWPizsZJ4YM%3A%2C75hG5duv9ueFNM%2C_&usg=__pKNKYLF3G3doy4wONHjaxXgC8cc%3D&ved=0ahUKEwihuZq6oKzSAhWH24MKHbPiDdcQyjcINQ&ei=Zf-xWOHyDoe3jwSzxbe4DQ#imgrc=GhkqWPizsZJ4YM:) there will later be a map that connects to Desolation Point. But until then, we have to go through Crumbling Highway to get the end. So if we need to go through a wolf infested area in order to reach the destination, which only offers a whaling centre and a lighthouse, what benefits does the player get in exploring this area, if the risks outweigh the benefits?

In terms of the forge, wouldn't it be easier to go to Forlon Muskeg, therefore being closer to Mystery Lake and not having to go through the Crumbling Highway ?

Coastal Highway is arguably more preferable to live in than Mystery Lake, and Desolation Point is nearer to CH than Forlorn Muskeg is. Also, DP is probably less hazardous than FM as individual maps. Plus there's the beach-combing in DP, which could be considered an advantage (just about).

I actually quite like Desolation Point in and of itself, though. I even quite like Crumbling Highway - and you're nearly as likely to run into wolves at the Tunnel not-Collapse-anymore as you are there anyway.
