I'm sure I'm not the only one who tends to superimpose Middle Earth on his/her surroundings...

NYC = Mordor + Gondor.

Some very Barrow-Downs like structures can be found in a park in Buffalo, except instead of wights, they contain garbage.

Ithaca, I think, makes a nice Rivendell, and the general central finger lakes region is the Shire. The Misty Mountains & Fangorn would both be Adirondack-ish...
and the Gray Havens were temporarily located in Rochester (while the fast ferry lasted) - which, I suppose, makes Canada the Undying Lands.

EDIT - Why, oh why, do I always have to be the first to post on a new page? It's a curse, I tell you!
