Meadow Hill

Meadow Hill is a landmark in the fictional town of Arkham, Massachusetts, invented by H. P. Lovecraft and mentioned repeatedly in his stories.
Meadow Hill is first mentioned in Lovecraft's story "Herbert West--Re-Animator", written in 1921-22, as a place on the outskirts of Arkham where Herbert West and his colleague live in a deserted farmhouse and perform macabre experiments. 
The hill occurs again in 1923's "The Unnamable", where it's mentioned as the site of a long-ago sighting of "a frightful loping, nameless thing". Later, after their encounter with the Unnamable, Randolph Carter and Joel Manton are found "in a lonely field beyond Meadow Hill, a mile from the old burying-ground, on a spot where an ancient slaughterhouse is reputed to have stood."
In "The Colour Out of Space", from 1927, "the McGregor boys from Meadow Hill" shoot a "very peculiar" woodchuck--not on their hill, but near the Gardner farm.
Meadow Hill appears, finally, in "The Dreams in the Witch-House" (1932), where "beyond Meadow Hill" there is a "dark ravine...where the old white stone stands in a place queerly void of all plant-life."
