How do I find the Beasts Field in order to get the Anvil that is needed for Mr. Smith.? I can't find it.

Also, where is the Dry Abode, that is supposed to be south of the Residential Area? I can't seem to find that either.

Another one I can't find is the Backwoods Lake. I think maybe I don't have that one open yet, but not sure.

Can someone please help.

Thanks

the lost city is above and to the right of the desert. you start it from that probably locked gate in The Stinging Dust. But I think you actually have to do the whole Island zone first. Been so long I can't remember. Then after all this you can do the Haunted Forest and get to the Backwoods Lake. I don't know why you even know about the Backwoods Lake right now, you are weeks if not months away from there.

Dusty Street & Shifty Alley are part of the Lost City.
The Dry Abode you originally mentioned is there in that Lost City, its below the square called The Residential District.

If you have gotten into the Haunted Forest then you know where the Beasts Field is, you had to go through it in the Snowy Zone to get there.

It seems that you are all over the place with way too many things started and unfinished. I never had more then 3 squares undone at a time when I was playing. I thought that was the way they had it set, one couldn't get to someplace else until something is done or some level is reached and such, therefore there is lots of time to complete every square thats undone. But maybe that's just how I played it.

The stuff to the side and below the Camp is part of the Jungle Zone that you will eventually get to. Go to every square that you have incomplete and finish those. Check those for gates. Check all squares adjacent to yor locked ones for gates, but many of those happen to be next to places you have completed but reached from places beyond those...
