Mapped
Kidnapped
Robert Louis Stevenson
David Balfour's road runs the width of Scotland in the year after the '45: from the House of Shaws by Cramond, out to the brig at Queensferry, wrecked on the reefs off Erraid by Mull, then east on foot through Appin and across the deserts of Rannoch back to Edinburgh. Almost every place is real and named, tied to the true Appin Murder of 1752; the bbox spans the whole crossing, Edinburgh west to Erraid.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson
The respectable Dr Jekyll brews a potion that frees his hidden appetites as the monstrous Mr Hyde, and the lawyer Utterson traces the growing horror through a fog-bound London toward a locked cabinet and a confession. Stevenson's city is a real, gaslit London of double lives: the fine house with its sinister back door, the squalid Soho lodgings of Hyde, and the lanes where his violence erupts, all mapping the divided self onto the divided town.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Robert Louis Stevenson
Stevenson keeps the geography deliberately shadowy, but the districts are real. Hyde's sinister side-door opens on a by-street near Soho; the same building is Dr Jekyll's handsome house around the corner in a West End square; Dr Lanyon holds court in Cavendish Square, the citadel of medicine; Hyde keeps rooms in Soho; and Sir Danvers Carew is beaten to death by night in a lane near the river at Westminster. The named districts are exact; the exact doors are composite, which is what the labels are for.
