In "Lion," the doctor at Hoke's is awakened by Boon in the middle of the night, "dragging him out of bed like a sack of meal," demanding that the wounded Lion be "fixed" (196).
The Aztecs were the dominant civilization in central Mexico from the 14th to the 16th centuries. They appear in the story only as a point of reference, when the narrator compares Lion's rule over the other hunting dogs to the way Aztec (and Polynesian) chiefs ruled their tribes.
"Polynesia" - the islands that are found across a large area of the Pacific ocean, mostly southwest and southeast of Hawaii - appears only as a point of reference in the story, when the narrator compares Lion's rule over the other hunting dogs to the way Polynesian (and Aztec) chiefs ruled their tribes.

As he waits on his assigned stand in the bayou, Quentin realizes that the scene before him is no different in appearance from what it had when, long ago, the first human explorer of the wilderness in Yoknpatawpha "crept into it and looked around, arrow poised and ready" (192).
In Go Down, Moses Ike and Boon travel directly from Hoke's to Memphis. When characters in other fictions travel from Jefferson to Memphis, they have to change trains north of Yoknapatawpha. Faulkner drew only one railroad on both his maps of the county, so presumably he forgot or simply ignores that fact in the novel - as he had earlier in "Lion," the short story where Boon's trip Memphis earlier appeared.
