About Georgie's storm drain
Georgie’s storm drain is a small piece of Derry’s street infrastructure on Witcham Street and one of the atlas’s most precisely connected roadside landmarks. It lies downhill from the Denbrough house and not far from the junction with Jackson Street. The map treats it as a kerbside drain within the Witcham corridor rather than as a separate building or plot. The location belongs chiefly to 1957, with the same part of town revisited in 1985.
Why this pin is marked A
Named in the novel. The street or the site is named in the text; the exact lot is the atlas’s.
The drain is marked A because the novel identifies Witcham Street and places the site close to its intersection with Jackson. The Denbrough house is higher on the same street, providing an additional order along the slope. Together, these clues constrain the drain to a short and meaningful section of Witcham. They do not specify a measured distance from the junction, the side of the road, or an exact inlet, so the plotted kerb position and its upstream placement are reconstructed.
