Maps are extremely political.

For Epstein island the US government has scrubbed/redated large periods of historic satellite imagery in order to hide construction of underground structures on each corner of the island. Chinese equivalents of Google earth offer clear images of different construction stages that the "US Coast Guard" prefers to hide.

If you check different satellite imagery providers it's always interesting to see what time periods are even available (paid or free), and if the imagery from an earlier date has been re-labeled to suggest it was taken at a later date.

Why would the island need underground structures at each corner?

Backup power generators? Security control room? There are tens of reasons why you'd put some parts of your estate underground

I assume for the more depraved shit they wanted extra privacy for?

Only the US government can answer this. I think it involves smuggling of prohibited goods.
