Jacobstown

Jacobstown is a settlement in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
During the aftermath of the Great War, the area was of little interest to travelers and scavengers due to its remote location and lack of salvageable material. It was not until the past twenty years that it became a permanent settlement for any group. Marcus, the mild-mannered super mutant sheriff of Broken Hills, took it upon himself to find a refuge for the "broken-minded" of his kind. It proved to be more difficult than holding on to Broken Hills, but he eventually discovered Mount Charleston and decided it was a good spot to set up a community.

Unfortunately for Marcus, not all of the super mutants and nightkin were content to live under his rules. Davison and Tabitha, two nightkin following Marcus, broke off and eventually created their own dysfunctional super mutant communities. Though Marcus is disappointed at how things turned out, he does the best he can to take care of the other super mutants and nightkin at Jacobstown.

Jacobstown is named after Jacob, a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin and past traveling companion of Marcus, who together previously founded the town of Broken Hills. It was in remembrance of his old friend, who had died long ago, that Marcus renamed the old resort.

Layout
Given the snowy climate and the look of the town itself, it appears to be a ski lodge resort with certain modified or fortified parts, located in the nearby Mount Charleston area north-west of New Vegas. The entrance features a giant sign on a tower that says "Jacobstown". Left of the entrance is a pen full of bighorners. To the right there are a few bungalows The large building to the rear is the Jacobstown Lodge.

At the entrance of Jacobstown, where you meet Marcus for the first time, there are two super mutants standing guard in both sides of the entrance. Near to the one on the right, there is a hollowed-out rock which has a small heart painted on it containing minor loot.

You will also find Lily Bowen and Keene in the town for the quest Guess Who I Saw Today, and Doctor Henry for Nothin' But a Hound Dog and For Auld Lang Syne.
