Ive been following this thread for a while, and I have to say it. To those who did handdrawn maps: Amazing
I just finished mapping last night with good old MS Paint, and Im currently running through my corridors in search of silver pentagons. No statue room yet though.
And since I love looking at all the different (and insanely confusing) ways people mapped their temples, Ill post my 5 hours of work too.

I have been away for a week and I have not started to map my temple yet. Your map looks the easiest to read, but I am sort of lost. I understand how you got the top row, but as you go through the doors, how do you know what letter the door takes you to? I mean, you have the second door in A 1 listed as Q 1. How do you know it is Q? I see you can scroll left and right, but you cant scroll up and down, so I just cannot figure out how you know what letter it is. I know I sound stupid, but I am having a hard time coming into this after most are already done.
Like you said, I mapped the entrance row with the arrows first, then scrolled to the far right and clicked the first black corridor. It took me back to the start of that same row, so I had nothing to map with that click. I just labeled that black corridor 'A-1.'
So, I went all the way to the far right again, and clicked the next black corridor. It led me to a new, uncharted row, and so I labeled that row B. Instead of going back to A, I just stayed in B, mapped that entire row using the arrows, and started my clicking from the first black corridor on the left. It led me to a new row, which I labeled C. And again, instead of going back to B to finish checking those black corridors, I stayed on row C and mapped its length. All the while, I kept labeling where each corridor was leading.
Hypothetically, a black corridor on row C might lead back to row A, but I never actually got to row C by going through row A. Basically, I darted around, and checked for duplicate doors. If there was no duplicate, I created a new row. That explains how there could be a W on row A. I didnt go from row A to row W. I went from W back to A. Sometimes I was working backwards. And sideways, and upways and rightways too.
That sounds insanely hard to follow. Sorry if you dont get it still =/
