Conclusion: the development of modern english offers some geographic oddities as it originates outside england.
At 24% we have an 'old red road'. Roads are rarely if ever red... but the location of these words indicate their origin somewhere with red road bricks or red earth.
18% indicates a stone island (sharing s, n), Sea and Desert to the East (sharing s, e), and sharing s with the stone island. It could be the canary islands off the western Sahara, or it could be Santo Alberto off Portugal where the construction of a fortress was abandoned.
At 17% north shore hill. Perhaps close enough to the stone island. to be relevant. From the north shore a hill can be seen protruding from the sea off Santo Alberto.
At 13% a new white town with water well and a Meddow.
At 10% percent we have a big brown bridge, and A fort and a forest and a field, and a fire and a ford across a river.
At 8% the 'blue mountains' (a great many locations around the world from estonia to canada to Australia)  and village with a grove, a stream, and river, and south a harbour home...
