Alonzo Farm
edit source- Main article: Alonzo Farm
After the Cylons attack and destroy the Galactican Fleet's food supply, Troy and Dillon assume the task of establishing an agro colony on Earth. They happen upon Hector Alonzo's ad and lend their aid to the beleaguered farm (1980: "Space Croppers").
General Store
edit source
Troy and Dillon are able to provide the necessary funds to purchase seed and other supplies from a general store. During a shopping run for these supplies, Maze and Barrett observe this and decide to harass them as they return from the general store; Maze throws his lit cigar into Alonzo's truck bed, beginning a fire that destroys most of the seeds (1980: "Space Croppers").
Note
edit sourceThe General Store's name is obfuscated, as the first known word of its proper name is cut off due to the framing of filmed footage (1980: "Space Croppers").
Griffith Park Observatory
edit source- For more information on this real-world location, see: Griffith Observatory at Wikipedia.

Troy, Dillon and the Super Scouts go here after visiting a local movie theater that screened a 1955 CE movie, This Island Earth. The Scouts see a Foucault pendulum and later listen (and comment) on a presentation presented by a tour guide named Marcy.
Troy and Dillon talk to Jamie Hamilton in the scope room of this observatory regarding the unpowered craft heading toward Earth, which isn't a Colonial craft as originally assumed (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
Home Furnishings
edit source
Dillon crashes into his building to end a hopeless car case caused by the United Broadcasting Company's Mr. Brooks. After crashing Donald Mortinson's car into the store front of this building, Troy, Dillon and Jamie Hamilton make good on their escape using the invisibility field (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II").
This building appears earlier during Doctor Zee's hypothetical Cylon attack scenario (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").
Los Angeles International Airport
edit source- Main article: Los Angeles International Airport
Troy and Dillon travel to this airport to get a flight to New York to intercept a craft not of Earth. They get acquainted with the concept of "hijacking," "smoking or non-smoking" and "metal detectors" here (1980: "The Night the Cylons Landed, Part I").
Maggies Truck Heaven
edit source
After thwarting Xaviar in 1944, Troy and Dillon drop off Hamilton at this diner, which doesn't accept personal checks. It is here that they damage a jukebox with their laser pistols and discover that they are all wanted fugitives (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III").
Mortinson's House
edit source
After meeting Xaviar at the United Broadcasting Company's main building, Mortinson brings Xaviar back to his house, residing on a cliff overlooking a California beach. The house has a study with a book on history, which Xaviar takes in order to further his plans of advancing Earth's technology (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III").
Oak's Garage
edit source
Troy and Dillon meet Jamie Hamilton outside this garage and gas station, where they manage to convince her to give them a ride to the Pacific Institute of Technology. Hamilton does so, clearly impressed that they are going to meet the reclusive Dr. Donald Mortinson (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").
Police Station
edit sourceAfter being captured by a security guard at the Pacific Institute of Technology, Troy and Dillon are brought to a police station, where they are booked by Sergeant James and fellow officer Dorbin. However, they make good on their escape from the holding pen, using their handy invisibility field (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I").
At day's end, Dr. Donald Mortinson fulfills his agreement to meet Jamie Hamilton in front of the police station, where the two Warriors appear and introduce themselves to Mortinson. They leave the front of this station in a vain attempt to talk to Mortinson quietly (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part II").
San Angelo Mountains
edit sourceTroy, Dillon, and John Stockton make their way up to a peak of this mountain near an old U.S. Nike base in order to obtain advanced medical attention from Galactican Fleet. It is here where the anti-gravity ship makes its first land fall (1980: "The Super Scouts, Part II").
Steadman Acres
edit sourceSteadman Acres is the largest farm land in the area of California that Troy and Dillon visit. Their first visit to this land is to see the dam that Steadman constructed for the sole purpose of ruining smaller farms who relied on it as the only source of water. The second time they visit this land is to confront Steadman over the behavior of two of his lackeys, Barrett and Maze, where they not only make arrangements for replacement seed but also manage to win Satan, a mentally disturbed horse that they manage to calm using the use of alpha waves (1980: "Space Croppers").
Van Nuys A.N.G. Base
edit source
Troy, Dillon, and Xaviar's Vipers are taken to the Van Nuys Air National Guard Base after Willy Griffin runs across them again. After finding out their location, the Warriors and Hamilton go to the base; Hamilton distracts the guards while the Warriors sneak in capture Xaviar (who's already infiltrated the base, disguised as an airman). Troy is unsuccessful in stopping Xaviar, who manages to recharge the Viper's energizers and lifts off (1980: "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part III").
