The Northwood Ridge Quarry is a location on the Island in 2287.
Layout[]
Currently inhabited by trappers, the center of this quarry is comprised of a water-filled ditch holding several penned mirelurks, along with an array of explosives which can be triggered from a safe distance by pressing a button on the balcony of the main shack overlooking the quarry on the north end. These explosives can be detonated repeatedly, effectively killing any mirelurks within the ditch. There are also a few shacks on the southwest side of the quarry, one of which has a tension trigger connected to its door to release a frag grenade upon entry if not disarmed first.
The interior area of the quarry can be accessed through a door in the northeast area guarded by a machinegun turret, on the back wall of a smaller area of the ditch littered with mirelurk eggs. Inside is a short tunnel with several trappers on a crude multi-level wooden structure at the back of the cave, where a steamer trunk can be found near a bed on the highest level of the structure.
