Get your world gen parameters (esc,export local images) and re-gen the world.

Or, have more foresight and copy your region folder pre-fortress mode.

Yes, because that's any help to him now.

brilliant and all but shouldn't i be able to get a file with the world gen data form the save?

That's what ext0l was saying. Go into your saved game, push escape, go to export local images and choose to export. In your Dwarf Fortress directory will be a bunch of stuff including the exact worldgen parameters with seeds. You just copy that information into worldgen.txt (give it a custom name so you know which it is) and you can regenerate the world clean from there.
