Hey all, a while back I made a map of New California in Fallout 1 and 2 because I wanted to find real locations for every place in the games and the routes between them. I'm posting after deciding to on a recent thread here.

It bothered me that Fallout 1 and 2 had different locations for Mariposa, V13 and Shady Sands, so I found definitive locations for them based on the lore provided, and found a way to make both map's fit them within their borders. Like V13 being under Mt. Whitney irl, according the the survival guide. I also included locations mentioned in New Vegas, and a little 3/4ths of the NV map.

This post will be a little long, sorry if the images are large.

Vaults are blue dots (kinda hard to see, unfortunately) and settlements are red dots.

And I even found the scene from the Fallout 4 Intro!-

Amazing work ... saved these

These maps looks very detailed and appealing. Great job and very nice work!

Nice finding part of the FO4 Intro. I thought they did most if not all of it on a set and not at certain locations. Again nice find and nice map!

ohhh, very cool. Nice work

Fantastic job dude! +1 from me!

Thanks, all Too bad my scanner isn't big enough to fit the whole thing.

@Savryn is there any way you can scan it in an order where someone can put it back together in photoshop? if you do that i can try to piece it together. because i legit want to make this a poster or something, its really cool.

@Saivryn these are fantastic. It's clear you put a whole lot of detail into those. How long exactly did the take?
How would you feel about someone putting these in game as posters at locations like McCaran or Crimson Caravans?

@"Saivryn" My my, you are quite the cartographer. I'm super impressed by this, man. Thanks fr sharing!

I'll try to work on something about scanning it. A it incapacitated from wisdom teeth removal atm

It would be really cool to have someone (if they wanted to ) paint over it in PS and make different versions with marked location names and trade routes. Like NCR county borders and make it look lore friendly.

@IRORIEH that would be awesome. I'll help anyone who's willing after I recover. Some day when I get a new PC I want to make my own vegas environmental mods. I'm not a fan of that current one that makes the strip bigger.

Just as i suspected, these maps are absolutely incredible. This is some top notch work my friend

These look really good! Great work!

Wow, that looks very good! You did an amazing job on those maps!

Nice work dude looks great

Good work man it's a awesome work

This is really cool, I like that you included scrapheap.

That would be a sick poster, dude. I want it. Nice work, my friend. +1

Hey man, I can't tell you how impressed I am with your work. I'm a mapper on Project Fallout, which is a Project Zomboid mod with the ambition of recreating the first two fallout games as well as New Vegas in the Project Zomboid engine. This could be a god-given reference for me in designing the overworld map, the work you've done here is amazing. I'd like to ask for your permission to use it as such and if you agree a high res scan of the full, unsegmented map would be extremely useful if that's something you're able to provide. I'll make sure you're given full credit on release. Either way this is so staggeringly cool I can hardly put it into words, great work man.
