Where would Mayberry be located geographicaly?
A. It’s impossible to pinpoint it precisely since the writers were not always consistent, but here are a few clues: 1. In “Barney and Thelma Lou, Phfftt!” Barney says it’s 12 miles to Mt. Pilot (the fictional “Mt. Pilot” is presumably in the same place as the real town of Pilot Mountain, NC.) 2. In “The Luck of Newton Monroe” Goober says it’s 60 miles to Raleigh. In “Andy’s Rich Girlfriend,” Barney says it 55 miles to the capital. 3. In “The Rehabilitation of Otis” and “The Battle of Mayberry” Mayberry is said to be in the northern part of the state. By consulting a map of North Carolina and using these clues, it’s possible to get a pretty good idea of where Mayberry is. It’s roughly in the same geographic location as Mt.
