"I have constructed this map from bits and pieces of information found in various chapters of the book."
"To a certain extent, I have had to rely on my imagination, because Scout never really spells out certain details e.g. where the entrance to the school is."
" "
"However, some features we can be sure of. Miss Maudie lives across the street from the Finches, the Radley house is three doors south and the house of Mrs Dubose two to the north."
"The Radley house backs onto the school grounds, and is quite near the large tree under which Jem and Scout are attacked."
"Maybe you could try to construct a map of the shops and offices around the Maycomb square?"

"*Alabama"
"Alabama is one of the southern-most states of the USA. It shares borders with Mississippi to the West, Georgia to the East, Tennessee to the North and Florida to the South-east."
"I have placed Maycomb in its approximate position on the map by using Scout's description in Chapter One."
" "
"Its geographical position gives it a temperate climate, frequently very hot in summer, and usually mild in winter. As described in the novel, snow this far South would be a very rare occurrence indeed!"
" "
"Also on the map you will see Harper Lee's own birth-place, Monroeville, quite close to her fictional town of Maycomb."
