Mirkwood / Kerley / Hawkins Lab
just some Hawkins mapping that mostly just makes me sad for how screwed Max is geographically
Mirkwood, aka Cornwallis and Kerley, is where Will went missing.
It's also where they found El.
Kerley is also where "Dale and Henry" went missing, some randos who I assume are among the six people Brenner tells Joyce have been taken by the demogorgon.
Know what else is on Kerley?
Max and Eddie's trailer park.
I also while gathering screenshots for this post realized that the spot where Nancy made Barb park her car is literally right outside Dustin's house. Am I the last one to this party or??
Will doesn't get taken until he rides a little farther, so I don't know if this street is Kerley or just near.
Barb said the place Nancy made her pull over was three blocks away from Steve's house. So this tells us that Dustin lives 3 blocks from Steve, for what it's worth. It also tells us that the pollywog showing up in Dustin's trash can of all places was maybe a proximity thing as well.
Mirkwood borders Hawkins Lab. We knew all the upside down stuff originated from the lab, because that's where the gate was. Hopper said all the dead crop stuff was affecting a 3 mile radius around the lab.
But the gate was closed and the lab destroyed at the end of season 2. Why does proximity to the lab/Kerley/Mirkwood still continue to be an issue?
Chrissy got Vecna'd at the trailer park, which is off Kerley.
Fred wandered off from the trailer park onto a nearby road, which I can only assume is Kerley, and got Vecna'd, opening a gate literally in the middle of the road.
Here's Hopper's map from 2 where the white square in the middle is Hawkins Lab. Recognize anything else? 💙
*snap* that's Lover's Lake!
where Patrick got Vecna'd. So we know that's less than 3 miles from the lab.
So that must mean Max got Vecna'd near there, too? Ah but he tried to kill her in multiple locations. Which one?
The place he first tried to kill her was at Roane Hill Cemetery, where Billy is buried
near the Creel house, where he actually did kill her. So they both work!
Max was able to wander into the Creel house hellscape in mid-trance from the cemetery, although that could be abstract and not an indication that they are literally that close together in reality.
The Creel house is super close to the trailer park. The teens in the upside down rode to the trailer park and peeped the house like one second before they arrived. Max almost could've seen it from her window.
Poor Max literally lives in a dimensional portal trailer park between a cemetery and a demon murder house. If she had gone to visit El in California, would she still be alive?
So most of the Hawkins locations we know are in Roane County, including the lab, the quarry, the cemetery, the trailer park, the Creel house, and all the party's houses. And Pennhurst is far away from East Hawkins, in fact, in a whole different county.
I need a map of this town.
So like... where physically was Vecna during seasons 1-3? Did he come out of that first gate along with the demogorgon? And are we sure all that early stuff was only about proximity to the lab and not to the Creel House?
