| # | | 1 | Arnette | Urban Areas | Cities-Texas | |
Arnette
Texas town: Hapscomb's Texaco sat on Number 93 just north of Arnette, a pissant four-street burg about 110 miles from Houston. Tonight the regulars were there, sitting by the cash register, drinking beer, talking idly, watching the bugs fly into the big lighted sign.

| | 6 | Castle Rock | Urban Areas | Cities-Maine | |
Castle Rock
City in Maine. Mentioned by Frannie when she talks Stu into moving back to Maine: "I'd want to go to western Maine, what they called the Lakes Region. You were almost there when Harold and I met you in New Hampshire. There are some beautiful places, Stu. Bridgton ... Sweden ... Castle Rock. The lakes would be jumping with fish, I'd imagine. In time, we might settle on the coast, I suppose. But I couldn't face that the first year. Too many memories. It would be too big at first. The sea would be too big."

What Trashcan Man calls Las Vegas.
| | 8 | Hammer Crossing | Urban Areas | Cities-U.S. | |
Hammer Crossing
Kansas town. Ed pulled into a service station and checked the map paperclipped to the station wagon's sun-visor. They were in Hammer Crossing, Kansas. "I don't know," he said. "Maybe we can at least find a doctor who'll give us a referral." He sighed and ran an aggravated hand through his hair. "Hammer Crossing, Kansas! Jesus! Why'd he have to get sick enough to need a doctor at some goddam nothing place like this?"
| | 9 | Hemingford Home | Urban Areas | Cities-U.S. | |
Hemingford Home
Town in Nebraska where Mother Abigail lives, and several survivors dream about.
| | 10 | Huxleyland | Worlds | Fantasy Lands | |
Huxleyland
A drug induced state of mind. Where did you pick him up? A meeting to discuss racism on the CU campus, or in the cafeteria? Hitchhiking? Does it matter? Oh, it's so hot, but there's water, a pitcher of water, an urn of water carved with strange figures which stand out in bas relief, and beside it the pill, no - !THE PILL! The one that will send him off to what this angel in the light yellow briefs calls Huxleyland, the place where the moving finger writes and doesn't move on, the place where flowers grow on dead oak trees, and boy, what an erection is tenting out your skivvies!
| | 11 | Polliston | Urban Areas | Cities-U.S. | |
Polliston
Kansas town. After six calls, during each of which Ed Norris carefully held his temper with both hands, he finally found a doctor in Polliston who would look at Hector if they could get him there by three. Polliston was off their route, twenty miles west of Hammer Crossing, but now the important thing was Hector. Ed was getting very worried about him. He'd never seen the kid with so little oomph in him.
| | 12 | Powtanville | Urban Areas | Cities-U.S. | |
Powtanville
Indiana town that Donald Merwin Elbert, known to the intimates of his dim and confusing grade-school past as the Trashcan Man, had wandered around, cringing from the voices in his head, dodging away and putting up his hands to shield against stones thrown by ghosts.
| | 13 | Shoyo | Urban Areas | Cities-U.S. | |
Shoyo
He came awake bit by bit until Nebraska was gone, and the smell of the corn, and Mother Abagail's seamed, dark face. The real world filtered in, not so much replacing that dream world as overlaying it until it was out of sight. He was in Shoyo, Arkansas, his name was Nick Andros, he had never spoken nor heard the sound of a "guitar" ... but he was still alive.

"We're going to Stovington, Vermont," Frannie said. "To the plague center there. We - what's wrong? Mr. Redman?" He had gone pale all of a sudden. The stem of grass he had been chewing fell onto his lap.
