A Redrawn Map

The map of Yocknapatawpha County, as originally conceived by William Faulkner

This map, which depicts the settings of many of Faulker's Yocknapatawpha novels, was first appended to the end papers of Absalom, Absalom. "Sutpen's Hundred" - a plantation carved from the wilderness by the novel's central character - lies in the upper right quadrant of the map. 

 And below the jump, you'll find a few recent revisions to this fine old map, prompted by weekend events in the real-life counterpart to Yocknapatawpha's  fictional county seat of "Jefferson" . . .

. . . with apologies to my fellow Rebel fans everywhere:

Perhaps I'm not quite to that "happy place" yet, but I am trying hard to visualize Jerrell Powe on a motor-scooter.
