I need the page numbers of sixty locations in Maycomb in To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I am not sure of the edition, but the treehouse is described on page 9 ("between two trees"), Ms. Dubose's house is on page 7 ("two doors to the north of us"), and the Radleys' place is on page 8 ("three doors to the south").

In my edition, the "treehouse that rested between giant twin chinaberry trees in the back yard" is on page 8. In yours, it is on page 9. The following locations (with page numbers) have been adjusted to correspond with your edition.
Page 7: mentions the Finch home on the main residential street in town, "Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose’s house two doors to the north . . . and the Radley Place three doors to the south." Miss Rachel Haverford, who lives next door to the Finches, is also mentioned.
Page 10: the Maycomb school grounds is said to adjoin the back of the Radley lot. In fact, the two locations are so close that nuts from pecan trees in the Radley yard often end up on school grounds.
Page 17: mentions that Miss Caroline Fisher lives across the street from the Finches, one door down in Miss Maudie Atkinson's upstairs front room.
Page 36: describes where Cecil Jacobs and Mrs. Dubose live in relation to the Finches (Atticus, Scout, and Jem).
Page 52: this page locates Mr. Avery's house across from that of Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose.
Page 56: mentions Deer's Pasture, located behind the Finch home.
Page 105: V.J. Elmore's is mentioned.
Page 106: on this page, the O.K. Cafe is said to be on the north side of the town square. V.J. Elmore's, where Scout buys her baton, is also mentioned.
Page 120: mentions the First Purchase African M.E. Church as located in the Quarters, outside the southern town limits. This church is said to be the only one in Maycomb with a steeple and bell.
Page 151: the carhouse is mentioned. This is where Atticus parks his Chevrolet.
Page 152: describes the office building that houses the Maycomb Tribune, on the south side of the town square. Mr. Underwood lives in the office building, above the Maycomb Tribune office. When he looks out his window, he can see the jail and courthouse.
This page also mentions the county toilet and the courthouse. The text tells us that Atticus's law office was initially located at the courthouse. However, its new location is at the Maycomb Bank building.
Page 153: describes the Maycomb jail, which is said to be "one cell wide and two cells high, complete with tiny battlements and flying buttresses." On this page, the Maycomb jail is said to be situated between Tyndal’s Hardware Store and the Maycomb Tribune office. The Jitney Jungle is also mentioned.
Page 173: mentions the Ewells living behind the Maycomb dump in what used to be a slave cabin.
Page 174: states that the African American settlement is situated five hundred yards beyond the Ewell residence.
