Jacobstown

Jacobstown is a settlement in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Background
Jacobstown sits at the same general location as the pre-war settlement of Mount Charleston, a small alpine community high in the mountains west of the Las Vegas Valley. Post-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 a settlement named Broken Hills, took it upon himself to find a refuge for the “broken-minded” of his kind— low-intelligence super mutants and schizophrenic nightkin. 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 nightkin were content to live under his rules. Davison (who currently talks to a brahmin Skull named Antler in the bowels of the REPCONN test site) and Tabitha (who broadcasts her particular brand of insanity from Black Mountain) broke off on their own, eventually winding up with 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 Lily and the other super mutants and nightkin at Jacobstown.

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 northwest 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 the one on the right, there is a hollowed-out rock which has a small heart painted on it and contains 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.
