The fictional town of Mayfield supposedly exists in suburban Ohio. This has been indirectly referenced many times. Some questions that I don't know about some geography that might clarify LITB's location...we shall see!
1. Where are the towns of "Bellport", "Riverside", and "Indian Carriage?" What about "Crystal Falls?" Is there a "Friends Lake?"
2. I do know that "Shaker Heights" is an Ohio suberb, where Ward is from
(With regard to Ward's occupation)
3. I believe that Ward is an account executive for a team of financial planners. I also believe that Ward was an engineer in the Seabees. (Mechanical Engineer) It is possible that Ward started college as a Philosophy major, didn't like it, changed to engineering. (Which involves a strong Math background) and finally preferred working with figures than being a "land surveyor". This would explain his current occupation on the show, which involves almost nothing directly related to engineering.
Maybe the producers throughout the course of the show forgot at times that Ohio is not near the ocean. (They put more emphasis on the filming at Universal Studios) then where Mayfield is supposed to be! It appears that the "Captain JacK" episode WAS filmed at an actual aligator farm, and I know they have several aligator farms in California (and Florida for that matter.)

Mayfield and Shaker Heights are both suburbs of Cleveland, and are both minutes away from where I live.

I know on NLITB, Eddie's family is supposed to be originally from Akron, a city not far from Cleveland. One thing that's strange is that in never snows in LITB, although it does in NLITB.
I'm guessing that Beaver has a similar occupation as his dad, because he eventually goes to work for Mr. Rutherford, but then loses his job (I think??), and he and Lumpy start their own business in a small office space, where both desks are in the same room, although there is a reception area. Eventually, they start doing business with a Japanese company, although I have no idea what they actually do.
