Each major setting should not be too hard. In order, the main settings would be:

Pencey Prep - focus on the prep school environment, the age of the characters and the sexual tension over girls.

New York City - with minor settings here broken down into the train, the Edmond hotel, Ernie's, Grand Central Station, the Wicker Bar, Holden's home.

The characters in each setting tend to be tied to that location based on their careers or personalities.
