Located about "two miles from the back door" at the Harriss place, Hence Cayley's farm is where Max Harriss and Captain Gualdres separately meet his daughter in "Knight's Gambit" (191).
Located a few miles from town, this farm is where in "Knight's Gambit" Charles Mallison visits Captain Warren, who is now a farmer but who "had been a flight commander in the old Royal Flying Corps" during World War I (206). As a site Warren's farm provides an interesting example of how responsive the demographics of Yoknapatawpha were to the needs of Faulkner's imagination. Warren appears in the earlier "Death Drag," where there is no mention of either his farm or Yoknapatawpha; his hometown in that story could be almost anywhere in the South.
The Gulf of Mexico is an ocean basin bordered on the south by Mexico and on the north and east by Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. In "Knight's Gambit" it is rumored that during Prohibition Harriss makes his money by flying "whiskey up from the Gulf to New Orleans" (162).
In "Knight's Gambit," after World War II makes it impossible to travel to Europe, Mrs. Harriss takes her children on a trip to South America; presumably they visit Argentina, since that is the South American country that Captain Gualdres is from and that he and his new wife intend to return to.

Located 15 miles from town, the McCallum farm is where Charles Mallison and his uncle, Gavin Stevens, go to "shoot quail in season" and where Charles himself goes "to spend the night in the woods or the creek bottom running fox or coon with the twin McCallum nephews" (210).

Located across the street from the barbershop, the Allnite Inn is where locals - including the barber, sheriff, and Rafe McCallum - eat; it serves as a landmark on the Square. We assume it is the same 'Jefferson restaurant' that appears in other texts under four other names, including the "All-Nite Cafe" in Intruder in the Dust.

England is mentioned in several ways in the story. London, the capital of England, is one of the postmarked locations from which Mrs. Harriss sends postcards during the decade she spends traveling in Europe. More significantly, England is also the site of 'the Battle of Britain,' the World War II aerial campaign during four months in 1940 during which the British "Royal Air Force's fighter command" triumphed over Germany's bombers (205), making Charles Mallison's 17-year-old heart "thirst" to "get to England some way" to share in the glory of war (206-07). And after the U.S.
