El Dorado Dry Lake

The El Dorado Dry Lake is a location in the Mojave Wasteland. Located north of Novac, past the Gibson Scrap Yard and HELIOS One, the latter which rests on the coast of the lake bed. Highway 95 runs along its east side on which the player encounters the occasional Crimson Caravan merchant, or wandering mercenary.

Layout
El Dorado Dry Lake is a vast expanse of sand and cracked earth, inspiring the same awe as the blasts that wrecked the earth. Nature's own forces of destruction work away at rocks, asphalt and peeling iron, while fire ants roam with impunity from shelter to shelter.

Notable loot

 * Nine jalapeño pepper plants can be found throughout the dry lake. Three are located next to the abandoned trailer near the prospector's dog.
 * Thirteen barrel cactus fruit can be found around the lake, mostly at the edges. Patches of them are easily visible, day or night. A single cactus can be found near the military truck, nestled up against one of its doors.

Appearances
El Dorado dry lake appears in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes

 * Translated from Spanish into English, "El Dorado" means "The Golden One", referencing the color of the land. Among Spain's 16th century conquistadors, El Dorado was a legendary city of gold.
