Even the county in which Lawndale resides is conflicted in [[canon]], with the MTV websites puttig it in Carter County and "[[One J at a Time]]" putting it in Lawndale County.

== Basic geography ==
In the map, the town is surrounded by an ex-quarry and unstable ground across the south, with a railway line running through the south-west (possibly with a station). The east and south east are bordered by large woods, with roads running through them. (One of those woods [[Legends of the Mall|is avoided at night]]) The school, the shopping districts, and most of the housing is clustered in the south and centre, with the large scale shopping out of the town proper and in the north west.
After the dreaded Seven Points road network in the north, there are scattered houses (most of them in the north-west, clumped to the side of the mall), more greenery, and a few remote corporate buildings. Beyond that, all we can see are fields.
