It means Southwest. It's one of those old 'map' things, such as putting dragons off in the void, and doing projections that make the player start area seem larger and more important than the rest of the level.
Interesting

Can you explain further? I don't get it. What does it do?

It lets you know that that side of the map is pointing toward the southwest.

I feel like I'm being trolled. That's ridiculous.

also, what do you mean by dragons in the void and projections and whatnot?
i feel like i've missed out on an important part of mapping history
Maybe it means Sleepwalkr... what if he's time travelling?

It's well known that mappers would often, due to cultural bias of where their spawnpoint is, make North America and Europe appear larger and more centered in their map, as well as mark unknown sections in the void with 'Here be Dragons'. Marking SW for Southwest is just helpful orientation for the viewer of the map.
