Rockyford (Location Key)
Code:
1100
Description:
In both The Town and The Mansion V.K. Ratliff visits a customer named Mrs. Ledbetter in a place called Rockyford (308, 158). Neither narrative goes with him, but the first novel does say that Rockyford is six miles from the road between Jefferson and Frenchman's Bend, and in the second novel Ratliff offers to give Flem Snopes a lift to Varner's store on his way to Rockyford. The name Rockyford itself suggests that the place is on a river, and the proximity to the Bend suggests the river is the Yoknapatawpha.
