The Land as Covenant's body

I'm sure this has been discussed before and I haven't been to the Watch in a very long time, despite the fact that I have been lurking for the past several years so I may have missed it. So forgive me if I'm dredging up an old topic.
I have always believed in the parallel of the Land being Covenant's own body and the characters he meets there as different aspects of his own personality, i.e., Foamfollower is his storytelling, Mhoram is his empathy, Bannor, his stubbornness, etc.
Anyway, the Land is his body - Andelain is his heart, Revelstone, his brain, Mount Thunder, his gangrenous hand/leprosy.
What do you think Kevin's Watch is, considering it's location in relation to the other locations?
Impotence and rape are a big topic in the Chrons and Kevin's Watch is possibly the most phallic symbol in the Land. And interestingly enough, that's where TC and LA enter the Land, where wild magic enters the Land, right at the top (tip?).
