Wes Boyd lived in a small town, we all knew that. What I have only just discovered is that one of the better players in the MLB (Cy Young award as a reliever) was from the same small town and was 4½ years older than Wes, I'm talking about <a href="https://www.mlb.com/player/mike-marshall-118320">Mike Marshall</a>. I sometimes wonder if Adrian, Michigan was the template for Camden.

Adrian is the county seat of Lenawee County and is located to the east of Hudson which is also located in the same county. They are directly north the Ohio state line. There is a very small town of Camden southwest of Hudson. Bradford and Hawthorne are probably based on Hudson and Adrian. The Camden mentioned in the Spearfish Lake stories may be Green Bay, Wisconsin. Spearfish Lake is located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Wes was not beyond a little misdirection in where he located his towns in his books.
