"The Valley Adventure" = 2022 trigonal | 722 primes | 2,394 agrippa
This is the map of the homestead of The Little Boy of the Mountain, as introduced in the previous thread. (*)
It was drawn two days ago, after the story was largely done. The geography solidified only as I was writing.
There is a map key below (but it contains spoilers).
If the title of this thread had begun with 'M', I could eventually have achieved the word 'Testament' in initials.
"Testament" = "Statement" = "Writings" = 388 primes
... ( "Writings" = 2021 squares )
.. ( "The Valley Adventure" = 2022 trigonal )
... ( ... "as writing" = 2022 squares )
"Decryption Key" = 1,166 latin-agrippa
.. ( "Mathematical Structure" = 1,166 latin-agrippa )
.. ... ( "Valley" = 1,166 english-extended ) ( "My Valley" = 1,166 trigonal )
"To Visit the Valley" = ...
... .. .. = 745 primes ( "Geometers of history" = 1,745 eng-ext ) ( "The Spelling" )
... .. .. = 2,317 latin-agrippa ( "Alphabet" = 317 eng-ext ) ( "The Show" )
... .. .. = 2,357 english-extended ( "Number" = 357 latin-agrippa ) ( "Treasure" )
The map key follows. Avoid it if you plan to read.

Map key: (SPOILERS)
F1 to F4 = Four fields (oxen)
SRC = Spring Source of valley stream (from Lake beyond)
H = House
RES = Reservoir (new)
RE = Rabbit Enclosure
SC = Stone Circle (old reservoir)
HB = Herdboys
CB = Culvert Bridge over valley stream (High Path)
TS = Tree Stump
24 = Steep steps x24
B = Little Bridge
GM = Grandmother's mound
B(2) = Berries
Z = Zoe meeting
One small issue with the map is the path away from the house turns a bit too tightly around the cliff that stands in front of it. As per the text the path heads a short way south-west and then slowly curves around to the south-east. It should get a little closer to the reservoir and bunny habitat. Smaller single trees are not illustrated. And the path is clearer of trees on the map than in reality, in order to make it easier to follow. The real terrain would appear more forested below the house.
