Behind the scenes

Early concept

Early concept of the Fallout: New Vegas map, explained by Chris Avellone during the Rezzed 2013 developer sessions. It features several locations which were not included in the game.[1]

Locations mentioned on the map, but not included in-game:

Scale

According to Joshua Sawyer, the New Vegas map is based off United States Geological Survey data but at 1/25th scale, with some adjustments, as at that scale the Colorado River was narrow enough for one to jump over.[2]

Early FNV Map

At Hidden Valley and the Remnants bunker there is an earlier version of the New Vegas map nv_pleximap01.

It differs from the final retail Pip-Boy map in a number of ways:

  • The map appears to be derived from height/topographical rather than satellite-style imagery of the actual world.
  • The grid system used is different.
  • The Strip and Freeside are highlighted similar to the Downtown DC ruins in Fallout 3.
  • Boulder City's street layout is represented
  • 188 Trading Post is much further east, closer to Boulder City.
  • Primm's residential area is more expansive.
  • The monorail route is shorter, terminating further south on the Strip.
  • Several roads are absent, possibly because those areas weren't complete at the time of the map's creation.

    Joshua Sawyer: "So this actually uses U.S. Geological Survey data, but it's at 1/25th the scale. So everything is obviously much, much, much smaller. The exceptions were that we had to widen the Colorado River, because at 1/25th scale, you could literally just jump over it. So we scaled everything down and then we could literally run over and jump across the Colorado River. So we expanded that, I think we expanded Lake Mead a little bit to get the scale to feel, like, okay."
