the closest I ever got to a “finally!” moment in this hunt was when I placed the letter A over the letter A in STATES (A is for APPLE). (Try this if you like). Could you spell this out a little more? Are you talking about the A at the bottom of page 28 or the A on the wall in page 6? I'm not seeing anything interesting when I overlay either one of those on the A in STATES on page 17.
The positioning of the verses is an odd thing. There are nine "verse spots" on the page for the 12 verses. Verses from pages 6, 23, and 28 all share the spot in the lower right corner. Verses from pages 9 and 14 share the spot in the upper left. Why?

Hi Theo,
In my theory, the key was identifying a single star in Casseiopia, in this case, the alpha star as discovered by solving part of the riddle (discard dimmest, pick one in middle). I thought this point on the page (page 28) would identify the starting city if overlaid on the US MAP correctly. I could never figure out a logical way to do so, other than putting A on A.
Regarding the verses, my guess the author put them in those spots as so to not interfere with the sketches. The order of the verse seems flow better when they are ‘PLACED IN ORDER’ with site specific locations near the end the poem.

This is how I got my starting point by using the map and text together. There is a star on Vermont but I could not find anything mirroring or relating to the tale for that area. I found more clues to support Massachusetts throughout the story and drawings so I started there and did my research.

I uploaded it to google photos if the link in the post above works for you. It has the map and highlighted text for you to see.
