{{HelpfulOverviewNote}}<br>

[[File:Lazarus_skeleton_in_fountain_of_youth.png|thumb|right|330px|The Fountain of Youth.]]
This map is a 90 degree symmetrical King of the Hill. As such, between the main or High Routes to the point are an inside corner towards the mountain and an outside corner towards the sea.
* '''The Labs''': Each team Spawn is located within a high-tech Global Headquarters and "antiquities" research facility having only two close-set spawn exits.

File:Koth_lazarus_red_spawn.png|The view of Red's spawn from outside.
</gallery>

* '''The Yard''': A wide yard for spreading players from the Spawn to the Yard exits:
** An inside exit through the Corridor towards the more direct '''High Route''' to the Control Point, passing the flank exit to the Digs.
** A middle exit through the Garage to the '''Low Route'''.
** An outside exit through the Corridor to the '''Rope Bridge''' and '''Cliffside Route'''.

* '''The Corridor''': A long battlements hallway that laterally connects all passages between the Spawn and the point except for the Garage.
** '''The Subs''': At the outside (ocean) end of the Corridor, a cave room connects upper and lower levels, passing by a secret submarine base; the upper door provides a Sniper camp, the lower door provides a lengthy flank to the point ... or a flank the other way up to the Corridor.
** '''The Digs''': Near the inside (point) end of the Corridor, a cave provides an elevated flank to the edge of the point, but with limited view of the point.

* '''The Garage''': A single dogleg passage underneath the Corridor. 
* '''The Altar''': This '''Balcony''' over the '''Plunge''' into the '''Dead Pool''' provides an outside flank to the point, or to the other Spawn.
* '''The Stairs''': An outside flank to the point.
* '''The Stage''': An inside flank to the point.
* '''The Alcoves''': Recessed positions directly beneath the upper exits from The Digs, each with small [[Ammo]] and [[Health]] Pickups. 
* '''The Fountain of Youth''': The Fountain of Youth room is a map novelty that opens only during [[Match outcomes#Humiliation|Humiliation]]. Players with damage will be healed if they stand in the water.
