Place U4: Juniper Hill

Juniper Hill is a psychiatric institution outside Derry, outside Augusta and close to the boundary with Sidney, in the 1985 period. It enters the story through Derry’s wider network of destinations rather than through the town’s own streets. The atlas includes it as an off-map narrative location so readers can distinguish a real journey beyond the mapped area from an unknown site within Derry. It is not compressed into the edge of the local sheet.

The institution receives level U because its regional setting is known but lies outside the geographic scope of this Derry reconstruction. Augusta and the Sidney boundary are meaningful anchors at a different scale; converting them into a local coordinate would misrepresent distance and direction. The absence of a pin therefore does not signal uncertainty about whether Juniper Hill exists. It records that the place is deliberately off map rather than locally unlocated.
