Part of the Castle Rock area is underlain by limestone. The location of Castle Rock may also be related to Marblehead, which has a park by the same name, but most likely not. The works in which Castle Rock appears place the town in the fictional "Castle County", which also includes such fictional towns as Castle Lake and Castle View. A map on King's official website places Castle Rock in Oxford County, in the vicinity of Woodstock. This region could include real places such as Durham, Lisbon, Danville, Auburn, Lewiston, Bridgton, and maybe even Sabattus. Geographically, this puts Castle Rock within 37 miles of Portland, Maine. "Weeds", the 1976 short story on which "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" was based, was set in New Hampshire. In the anthology film Creepshow (1982), written by King, a sign at the end of " The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" puts Portland at 37 miles, and Boston at 188 miles. In Needful Things, Castle Rock is placed 18 miles southwest of South Paris. This story, according to King, serves as an epilogue to Needful Things. However, the town later served as the setting for the short story " It Grows on You", published in King's 1993 collection Nightmares & Dreamscapes.
