I am honored to present a map of California and Nevada enriched with places that the protagonist of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 visited along the game plot. I settled the maps taken from the games using mainly topographical details like coastline and mountains. As a result, I recognized a few mismatches. First, the maps from Fallout I and Fallout II are not coherent. There are Vault 13, Vault 15, Shady Sands (renamed as New California Republic in Fallout II) and Military Base marked on both but in different places. Moreover, locations of some places that should have existed prior to game plot (i.e. nowadays) are incoherent with the right (present) location. For example, Redding has been moved by the game authors more than 40 miles toward south-east. This concerns also New Reno, which I tried to associate with nowadays existing city Reno (which is a local center of gambling like many other cities in Nevada along the border with California). What make me really anxious are the origins of Necropolis. When I played the game, I was associating this city with Las Vegas. However, after adjustment of the map, I realized that Necropolis is halfway from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, located on a desert and neighboring Fort Irving National Training Center from south. And there are no human settlements at all.

So if you, dear reader, have any suggestions or opinions concerning this topic, please feel invited to contact me, sending an e-mail to anarkiewicz@wp.pl.
