About this layer
Every place has stories set in it, from novels and films to TV series and video games. This layer maps 24,855 works set in US places, using Wikidata's narrative location data, released under CC0. Unlike filming locations, this shows where a story takes place, which is not always where it was shot.
Many entries sit on city centers because the data often names a city rather than a street. Use it to find a book set in your next destination, build a reading list for a road trip, or see which towns have the most fiction set in them. Pair it with Filming Locations to compare where stories are set with where they were actually filmed.
