Most of the places in these stories are made up - there is no Fort Conquina or Pickalocka county in Florida, for example, and no Ylanqui River or Thunder Mountains in Alaska.
The pictures used are:
Thumbnail: Keystone Kops. /Nfilm Still, N.D. Poster. I couldn't seem to find a pic of the Keystone Kops in a foot chase, and I can't very well use Benny Hill chase scene footage for copyright reasons. Ah well, this will just have to do.
Forward: the Bronx Park about 100 years ago
Preface: photograph of New York City's Central Park taken in 1915.
The Third Eye: "On a Real Florida Keys Beach" by Phil's 1stPix, at the Bahia Honda State Park, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/).
The Immortal: illustrations by Henry Hutt from the original book published in 1915.
The Ladies of the Lake: Chapter 1: Chilkat Mountains of Alaska. Just to give you a general idea of the Alaska wilderness.
Chapter 2: You can actually find quite a few images of lakes in Alaska that are so perfectly still and mirror-smooth like this, but this one fits wonderfully, the mountains around it and the dead-looking trees. This feels like it really could be the "lake" in question.
Chapter 3: Both the images used here are illustrations by Henry Hutt from the original publication.
One Over: Chapter 1: Illustration by Henry Hutt from the original publication
Chapter 3: Central Borden Fault Zone in northcentral Baffin Island, by Mike Beauregard, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en)
Chapter 4: Terminal Moraine from Glas Toll by Roger McLachlan, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/). Yes, that's in the UK, not Canada, but it is a terminal moraine that looks to me to be about right to me. Looks like some ice there in the foreground (though could be some very flat, smooth rock I suppose), and about as close to a marsh as you will ever find in a frozen area.
Chapter 5: Illustrations by Henry Hutt from the original publication
Un Peu d'Amour: O'Leary Peak (San Francisco Volcanic Field, Arizona, USA) by James St. John, used under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/deed.en).
The Eggs of the Silver Moon: Eggs of Pseudosphinx tetrio by gailhampshire, used here under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/). Technically moth eggs, not butterfly eggs, but they look real nice.
