'L' Column
L,1 - Camping Grounds
Within the eerie gloom of the forest called either the Forbidden Forest or the Dark Forest, to find such a pleasant little meadow with a babbling brooks running through it. A grassy knoll lush and green and scattered with a quilt like blanket of color from the wildflowers.
L,1 - 8 - Flying Hogs Quidditch Stands
The most recent team to be added to the British and Irish Quidditch League is the Hogsmeade Flying Hogs. The infancy of this new team shows the most in the state of their home Quidditch Pitch. The wood used in the stands is fresh and bright and the glue around the dowels hasn't even been sanded down yet. The stands are all one ring around the pitch three stories up. The sky tower seats are not yet available. There is no fabric covers embroidered with the teams logo, it's all bare wood frame. The three home side hoops are something special however. Each tall pole and the hoop it holds is carved with spirals of flying hogs. The 'sand' under them is partly sand, but it's also mixed with mulched up pine needles from the surrounding forest. The grass of the pitch is very green and lush with bursts of orange and lots of purple where some scottish wildflowers have bloomed.
L,1 - D - Quidditch Pitch
The oval of the Flying Hogs' Quidditch Pitch is regulation size at five-hundred feet long and one-hundred eighty feet wide, with a small central circle of approximately two feet in diameter. At each end there are three wooden posts holding the hooped goals at different heights. The Hoops on the Home Team Side are all intricately carved with flying hogs spiraling along their height and hooms. The stands are all one ring around the pitch three stories up. The sky tower seats are not yet available. There is no fabric covers embroidered with the teams logo, it's all bare wood frame. The 'sand' under them is partly sand, but it's also mixed with mulched up pine needles from the surrounding forest.

L,2 - Lovage Lane
Along th sides of the road are smallish yet cozy looking little houses interspersed here and there with small businesses like Madame Puddifoot's tea house. Along with the rest of Hogsmeade the Forbidden Forest nestles in here and there between the houses. Bustling with life the forest and farmland surrounding the village is as active with wildlife as the village is with civilization, however quaint and country it might be.
Properties in this neighborhood:
L,3 - West High St.
This is the main street and venue for Hogsmeade Village, the western portion of High Street. The street is always occupied by someone either out for a walk, loitering, or tidying up the outside of their business. OPEN signs hang in windows, shutters and drapes are open wide so display windows can be peered into to view some of the shop's wares. Bustling with life the forest surrounding the village is as active with wildlife as the village is with civilization, however quaint and country it might be.
Properties in this neighborhood:
L,4 - Sow Street
If Hogsmeade can be said to have a seedy part of town this is it. Sow Street is narrow, dirty and unwelcoming. Even in during the day this area seems to be a little darker than the rest of town, the buildings leaning in towards each other to block a good part of the light out. Most of the buildings are wattle and daub houses but there are a few shops here and there too. Most notable is the infamous Hog's Head Tavern which sits right at the dead end of the street its wooden sign creaking ominously with any little breeze.
Several long dirt driveways also extend off of Sow Street. These dives lead to the skirts of the west part of town and to the Orpington and Cornfoot family farms. The eastern side of the area is mostly just back yards and the back ends of the cottages that are along Cottage Circle. A small little park to the southeast makes a nice little picnic spot. Just north from the park to the west from the road is another more open area that has stalls and displays for produce and wares. It's the Hogsmeade Market. Tucked away in the northeast behind the larger stores along High Street is the Magistrates Office.

L,5 - Railway Road
The road here looks more like a grey clover pattern. Four rounding circles bud out of the main road that stretches to the south, to the Hogsmeade Rail road station, and off to the north towards Hogsmeade Village. Often, when the mass migration of students happens from Hogwarts to the Rail Station the thestral drawn carriages make an appearance. When parked in the gravel circles outside of the stables each carriage is hitched with a pair of thestrals, invisible to the eye of those lucky enough to have never witnessed a death. These gravel circles are on the southeast side of the road and attach to a stable and barn. The Black Lake glitters in the distance behind the stables further to the east. To the west of the road is pure Scottish wilderness. No artist in all the world in all of time could ever capture the wild purity and majesty of the enchanted Scottish scenery.
Properties in this neighborhood:
L,6 - Rail Station
The outskirts of Hogsmeade press up against the station, gray stone and timbers leaning companionably over the narrow platform that leads to the trestle bridge crossing over the tracks. To the northeast, Hogwarts Castle can be seen casting its reflection in the lake. Curving around the edge of the lake, bordered with a low stone wall, the road to Hogwarts follows a c-shaped route until it disappears into the trees and begins its climb upwards. Across the road, grass gives way to sand that leads to the shore where a row of boats have been turned upside down waiting to be used once a year to ferry first year students across the lake.

M,1 - Fawley Farm
Nestled between the Scottish Mountainside and the Forbidden Forest, at the end of a long long gravel road that stretches out a few miles between the end of Crook Road and the property of the Fawley Farm is the largest of the properties in the area and it takes up near 100 acres. It's a beautiful sprawling farm. The property is completely self sustaining with plenty of meadow for the livestock, fields and orchards for growing feed for both the animal and human residents, a brook with cool water that feeds the land and the livestock and a thicket at the edge of the forest and on the mountain rise to the north side of the property. While the Farmhouse with surround porch is relatively quaint all things considered built in the usual Tudor era style it is a two story work of whimsy.
The farm is a busy bustling place. The farm is used by the resident to house and care for creatures both mundane and magical that can not live in the wild or at the Zoo. All manner of species reside in special locations sprawled out over the 100 acre property. Behind the barn that's larger than the farmhouse is a newer addition to the property being a very small lake for marine animals. Quite like a small zoo in itself every species has it's own space that's been modeled to resemble their native habitat.
Buildings on the farm:
M,2 - West Crook Rd.
Crook Road is a roughly cobbled narrow little road that bends a little bit off to south zagging to the east. Flanking either side of the road are wattle and daub or cob houses. Along with the rest of Hogsmeade the Forbidden Forest is kept at bay by a five foot stone rural village wall that is covered in lichen and spotted with large patches of moss. In this portion of the village the boundary wall is on the north and west. after giving plenty of room for the back yards and sides of the homes lining the road. The rest of Crook Road makes it crooked way off to the east.
Properties in this neighborhood:
M,3 - Central High St.
This is the main street and venue for Hogsmeade Village, the central portion of High Street. The street is always occupied by someone either out for a walk, loitering, or tidying up the outside of their business. OPEN signs hang in windows, shutters and drapes are open wide so display windows can be peered into to view some of the shop's wares. Bustling with life the forest surrounding the village is as active with wildlife as the village is with civilization, however quaint and country it might be. All of the buildings along High Street are very acute when it comes to their roofs. Each roof outfitted with one or more extremely tall brick chimneys that sometimes are twice the height as the actual building.
Properties in this neighborhood:
M,4 - West Cottage Circle
Cottage Way is a nicely cobbled narrow little road. Flanking either side of the road are wattle and daub, brick, half-timber and brick or stone houses, all dating back to medieval times when Hogsmeade was founded. Along with the rest of Hogsmeade the Forbidden Forest nestles in here and there between the houses.

Properties in this neighborhood:
M,5 - Hogsmeade Estates
This part of Hogsmeade rather quickly peaks into a large hill. Atop this hill are four large manor estates. The oldest of these estates is the village's founding family's manor, The Woodcrofts. All the manors were built to make the best use out of the views. The Woodcroft Estate is build on the northeast section of the hill and it looks down on the town to the north and also has a view of Hogwarts to the east. The Mayor's Manor takes up the Northwest area of the hill and boasts the best view of the entire Village. The Blishwick family has long been residents of the Wizarding Village and their family home is on the southwest side of the hill and it looks over the sprawling moors and wilderness south of Hogsmeade Village. Finally on the southwest side of the hill is another large manor that has a stunning view of the Black Lake, its shores and Hogwarts campus.
Properties in this area:
M,6 - Docks
At the southwest shore of the Black Lake right off of the Hogsmeade rail station is a small dock area where the annual first year migration takes place, floating across the lake to the Hogwarts Campus that looms on the northeast shore atop the high cliffs that border the northern side of the lake. The campus and the buildings of the Hogsmeade village can be seen on the northwest shore. The Forbidden forest encompasses the eastern shore of the lake and a few trees even encroach on the docks. The road to the northwest for coaches to take wizards and witches from the Rail station to the Village curves about the west shore of the lake.
'N' Column
N,1 - R.C.M.C. Rehab Centre
The trees here are incredibly dense and snuggled in between them is a well sized building with darkened windows. Upon the door is a sign that is rather small and simply reads, "RCMC." Once inside, the doors open into a large room, much larger than the outside of the building would suggest. In the front are desks that sit in front of several small cages that go from small to the size for a large dog. Behind are several larger pens with thick glass walls and doors to go into them. The doors are separated into two sections so that just the upper part may be opened by itself.
The whole building is painted in muted and calm colors for the soothing effect on those that work and the animals that are here. All the doors have locks and at least some small kind of charm on them for safety as well. Right in the middle of the back wall is a door that seems to have quite a bit of security on it and opens up to the whole of the back of the building. Whatever gets put in that cell, will not get out… And look out if it ever does.
N,2 - East Crook Rd.
Crook Road is a roughly cobbled narrow little road that bends a little bit off to the northeast. Flanking either side of the road are wattle and daub or cob houses. Along with the rest of Hogsmeade the Forbidden Forest is kept at bay by a five foot stone rural city wall that is covered in lichen and spotted with large patches of moss. In this portion of the village the boundary wall is on the north, south and east sides of the homes lining the road. In the wall at the north end of the crooked road the forest gives way to a very large clearing in the wood that has been cultivated into farm and orchard land. Stone and wood fences around the vast acreage come to a grand farmyard gate on the north end of the road. The Grey Family crest is carved ornately into the wooden gate that secures the property. Bustling with life the forest and farmland surrounding the village is as active with wildlife as the village is with civilization, however quaint and country it might be. The rest of Crook Road makes it crooked way off to the west.

N,4 - East Cottage Circle
A miles worth of long surprisingly straight and smooth grey gravel road cuts through the Scottish wilderness. Spanning the distance to the south the road eventually reaches Hogsmeade Railroad Station while further north the road starts to curve towards Hogsmeade Village. Scottish moore land makes traveling east to the southeast fringe of Hogsmeade a heroic feat. Keeping to the road to the north is by far the easiest route. To the west of the road is pure Scottish wilderness.
Properties in this neighborhood:
N,5 - Public Beach
This narrow crescent of grainy sand and smooth small beach stones spans east to west between the fortified Hogwarts Campus wall to the east and eventually fades into a heathery moor the west. The only spot along the shore that isn't given completely to a topography of rocks and roots, the latter of which extend right out into the lake, this section of the shore is for public use by wizards tourist or local alike. Wards and spells not to mention the under water life of the Black Lake, keep the students in and the rest of the world from going onto the closed campus.
Properties in this neighborhood:
N,6 - Black Lake
As with most Scottish lakes that are this deep and narrow, the lake near Hogwarts is chilly all year long. Narrow sandy areas from the beach give way to oozing squishing between the toes once a person is waist-deep. No one dares to swim too far out into the lake. A grindylow is sure to drag them down into the cold depths. Usually this stretch of deep dark blue water is only traversed by the first year boats that bring the newcomers across the water as a special treat upon their arrival.
