Creating+a+Map+of+Maycomb

Get Your Bearings One of the most important elements of //To Kill A Mockingbird// is the physical setting of the story—Maycomb County, as all of the action occurs in and around places that Scout and Jem travel by or see everyday. You and your group members are responsible to creating a map of Maycomb County, using details from the book and the suggestions that I have given you below.

Consider the following landmarks: To get you started…
 * The schoolyard
 * The Finch's
 * The Radley property, including the tree
 * Finches Landing
 * Neighbors: Miss Maudie's, Miss Rachel's, Mrs. Dubose House, Mr. Avery
 * The Cunningham's
 * Underwood's
 * The town: Atticus’ office, jail, courthouse
 * 1st purchase church
 * The Ewell home
 * Other landmarks?
