I associate concepts with specific locations.

For example - when thinking about RAID storage on servers, in my mind, I 'visit' an empty corner lot in an industrial area of Elgin IL.

People are messy.

Anyway, I do that.

This does not seem to be a case of 'where were you when such-and-such happened'. The locations don't need to have been frequented by me and the association may be formed years after my leaving an area. I have not identified a common rule for the associations.
