A Map of Maycomb: Textual Evidence Chart
In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee paints a vivid picture of the novel’s setting, the small southern town of
Maycomb, Alabama. In addition to her creative description, she also provides specific details regarding the location of
the many houses and buildings. Using your text as a reference, locate the page number, description, and importance of
each of the places listed below.
Include as many places as possible on your map. In some cases, exact locations/descriptions are given, but
in other places, only generalizations are made, so you’ll have to give an approximate placement/make an inference
about the character. This chart will be your key to drawing a realistic map of Maycomb and making important
connects between the setting and characters. Be sure to include details of the events/descriptions at each locale.
