If you have this structure in mind, why not write a test for that and
go from there? e.g. an rspec request test like

it "responds to /california/idyllwild/profile/geography" do
get "/california/idyllwild/profile/geography"
response.status.should be(200)
end

(You could use cucumber or some other framework, of course.)

Start with some reasonable model name - Town, Place, Location -
and see how that fits as you add tests describing what the app does.
