Light in August Inset: McEachern Pasture (Location Key)

Behind the barn at the McEachern's in Light in August is "a good-sized pasture" (162) It contains a spring in "a clump of willows" (158), which presumably is the source of the creek that flows beside the pasture "a quarter of a mile" away from the farm buildings (162). Beyond the pasture are trees: "the trunks of them choked with marshy undergrowth" (163).
