There's no real boundaries to Barclay County, just Governor Spencer's ambitions; most maps include little more than Niddle Patch and Fate's Folly, which, as far as Spencer is concerned, is only a small part of 'his' county.
The Big Split Gorge, well, splits Barclay into East and West counties, with the Fort Cable Bridge being the only way across for a hundred miles in either direction. On the west is Niddle Patch, the east Fate's Folly. Most of the rest of the county is empty wastes with the occasional nomad camp or reoccupied old-world structure, like the Tree Limit Penitentiary.
Spencer's estate is in Niddle Patch, though he spends most of his time in his offices in Fort Cable.
Right. Fort Cable. The bridge over the gorge has a city of its own built on, over, and under it, Fort Cable, which serves as the hub of the county for trade and industry; massive wind-farms collect the energy that runs the cities, and farmers collect the lichen-balls which drift on the currents.
