Features
The Black Rock
The only significant landmark known to be located in the Dark Territory is the Black Rock, a ship unusually located deep in the Island's jungle. ("Exodus, Part 1")
The Monster
The Monster appears to be highly active in this region; it attacked the survivors during their mission to retrieve dynamite from the Black Rock, nearly pulling Locke underground. ("Exodus, Part 2")
The blast door map states contains the phrase, "Primary nexus of Cerberus related activity", in close proximity to the Black Rock. ("Lockdown") Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof confirmed that "Cerberus" is an alias for the the Monster at Comic Con 2007's Lost panel.
Before the crash
According to Rousseau, the Dark Territory is where her science expedition first encountered the Others. Rousseau also claimed that this is where her teammates became infected with the the Sickness. One member of Rousseau's team, Montand, somehow lost his arm in the Dark Territory. ("Solitary")
After the crash
The survivors of Flight 815 are known to have visited the Dark Territory on two specific occasions, both times to visit the Black Rock. The size and boundaries of the Dark Territory are unknown, so it possible the survivors may have passed through the region on other occasion.
