I didn't set out to make a whole series of things about this town, but making up one big town was faster than making up a bunch of little ones. After writing a few songs that mention this town, and then setting How To Get Suspended and a couple of short stories there, I realized that I was going to need a map to keep things straight and worked this one up. I change it around when necessary now and then; sometimes I'll add or remove a street, or change the names of the streets that haven't been mentioned in anything yet.
This is far from being a complete map - it really just highlights the main part of town. There are more streets laid out in more-or-less of a grid further south, and lots of subdivisions further north and west. it's also not at all to scale - it's supposed to be about a mile or so from Venture to Cedar. But this at least keeps me from screwing up figuring out where everything is.
The little grey squares, for the record, are elementary schools. The red marks in Whooping Crane Estates and Cherrytree Meadows represent where Brian and Edie live.
