Could that possibly be used efficiently to create a map saving system?

That's kind of how .dmp's and .dmm's work.
It's effectively a bitmap of the map. | |
The most efficient list is a singular array where you handle the rows yourself -- i.e., if you have an 80x80 map, you just need a 6,400-element list; each index corresponds to ((y-1)*80)+(x).
Multi-dimensional arrays, however, are the easiest to understand and maintain. | |
BYOND really doesn't handle multidimensional lists extremely well and using them just uses up the limited allotment of lists that much faster. You're far better off using a single list for this purpose.
