2. The areas where the Maroons settled correspond to Jamaica's mountainous regions, which are difficult to access and provide natural defense.
3. The Trelawny Maroons settled near the Cockpit Country mountains, and the Windward Maroons settled near the Blue Mountains.
4. The mountainous terrain helped keep the Maroons safe by providing natural high ground for defense and difficult terrain that hindered British movement.
