Ered Luin:
The Ered Luin are the Blue Mountains. During the First Age, this
mountain range was the eastern boundary of Beleriand. At the end
of the First Age, they were split by the gulf of Lhûn. There
were at least two dwarf-cities in the Blue Mountains during the
First Age, and at least one partially survived as it is said that
Dwarves still passed through the Shire on their way to their cities
in the Blue Mountains.

Esgaroth:
Often called Lake-Town, Esgaroth was built on posts driven into
the Long Lake. The original town was destroyed when Smaug fell
upon it in his death. It was later rebuilt somewhat to the north
of the original site. The posts and the body could be seen much
later, untouched.

Edoras:
The capital city of Rohan. Edoras apparently had a dike, wall
and thorny fence surrounding it:
"I see a white stream that comes down from
the snows," he said. "Where it issues from the shadow of the
vale a green hill rises upon the east. A dike and mighty wall
and thorny fence encircle it. Within there rise the roofs of
houses; and in the midst, set upon a green terrace, there stands
aloft a great hall of Men. And it seems to my eyes that it is
thatched with gold. The light of it shines far over the land.
golden, too, are the posts of its doors."(LOTR.528-529)

The Emyn Muil:
A region of fairly barren cliffs on each side of the Anduin
River. At the base of the cliffs were often bogs and fens: We
can't get down, and if we did get down, we'd find all that green
land a nasty bog, I'll warrant. (LOTR.627)
In earlier days the Emyn Muil were covered with trees, though
they were gnarled and stunted, though by the time of the War
of the Ring, few trees still lived.
Some way down they found a few gnarled and
stunted trees, the first they had seen for days: twisted birch
for the most part, with here and there a fir-tree. Many were
dead and gaunt, bitten to the core by the eastern winds. Once
in milder days there must have been a fair thicket in the ravine,
but now, after some fifty yards, the trees came to an end, though
old broken stumps straggled on almost to the clif's brink. (LOTR.629-630)

Erebor:
The Lonely Mountain. Erebor was first settled just after Moria
was deserted, and later attracted the attention of Smaug, who
until the Quest to destroy Smaug was successful in the year 2941
of the Third Age. After this Erebor thrived and continued to
grow. There is no record of what end it finally came to, if any,
Erebor may still be in existence.
