What pages of To Kill a Mockingbird describe the location of Deer's Pasture?

Deer's Pasture was a field in between the Finch house and the schoolyard.  It could be reached by "[crawling] under the fence" in the Finch's backyard.  One summer, Scout and Dill "kicked Jem's football around the pasture."  


The first mention of Deer's Pasture was in chapter six.  In my book, it is on page 55.  It was on this page that the location of the pasture was mentioned.  This was from the scene when Scout, Jem, and Dill snuck around the Radley house to spy on Boo.  The three children ran away through Deer's Pasture as Mr. Radley shot his gun into the air.


Later in that same chapter, Deer's Pasture was mentioned again.  In my book, it is on page 58.  Jem snuck through Deer's Pasture to go back to the Radley house and retrieve his pants.


Deer's Pasture was mentioned a final time in chapter fifteen.  In my book, it is on page 150.  Dill and Scout spent time in Deer's Pasture, "creeping around" and playing with a football together.
