Well, shoot...There I was feeling all ´accomplished´ that I had actually managed to create a workable map of a TV-show.
There were some errors (of course there are), but overall this map worked (link).
And then the producers of the show bring out a book that has the complete season 2 map.
Well, shoot! :-)
One little critique.
Now, being a bit critical this official map doesn’t line up with even half of my research. The map the showrunners ‘allowed' is the so-called ‘Police map’.
The one used in the police station scene in Season 2.
There’s also the ‘Season one’-map, the ‘Bob’-map and the ‘Wherever the show was shot’-map (Butts county).
Those maps don’t line up. So, as a result, this official map given by the showrunners doesn’t line up with the whole of the series.
Loving it.
Sillyness aside, for me, I actually rather enjoy this move. What this proves is that Stranger Things is getting itself organized as a series -the map cements the mythology as it were.
I love this! Like Discworld before it the fantasy world of Hawkins Indiana becomes a lot more tangable.
It's also fun to see that I got a lot of things right (and a lot of things wrong).
So, it’s official: I’m stepping down as the unofficial cartographer of Hawkins Indiana.
But the show better make the placing of locations logical next season I'll be watching.
