The maps most definitely do not mirror the original exactly, however the orientation and relative placement should be similar.
It was difficult to really attempt to duplicate KF2 because of the multi-layered maps that employs so well...as north village/west garrison and the dragon fountain were the first three maps i ever made, i was fairly green with SOM and did not think to build my own parts to accomplish a multi-leveled map in the same style KF2 employed. For the record, I will be the first to admit KF2 destroys DD in the coolness aspect because of how the maps intertwined so well.
Below is a quick illustration (the left side being from a walkthrough map of KF2 that I made, the right side being the overall layout of DD) to give you an idea of the similarity (where there is some).
As for someone wanting to redo the maps, they can do as they please. Once 1.7 is done, I am making the source files available to anyone who wants to toy around with it.
