Roads between Doane's Mill and Jefferson (Location Key)

For "almost four weeks" before Light in August begins Lena Grove has been walking on foot to find Lucas Burch. We can assume the roads she has been traveling between Doane's Mill (in Alabama) and the Frenchman's Bend road she has arrived at are country roads, unpaved and bounded by farm land. The narrative describes them as "a peaceful corridor paved with unflagging and tranquil faith and people with kind and nameless faces and voices" (7). She passes through towns called "Pocahontas" (7) and "Springvale" (8), which may be located in Faulkner's imagination near where the real towns of Pocahontas, Alabama, and Springville, Mississippi, can be found. No matter the exact route, she has traveled "a fur piece," as she puts it to herself (3).
