Scrapyard

Scrapyard is a location south of Minefield or northeast of Vault 101, past the Potomac River. Specifically from Vault 101, on the map, it is 4 squares north and 3 squares east almost exactly. Looping along the south side of Scrapyard is an elevated railway which, along with bordering roads, puts Scrapyard in a makeshift depression. Even further south is simply geography sloping downwards into the river basin. The Scrapyard can be entered through several breaches in the southwest, west, or north sides or through multiple gates on the south side.

When initially entering Scrapyard Dogmeat, a possible companion, can be found fighting Raiders towards the northeast corner. You will hear gunfire as you near this location. There will be at least 3 Raiders that Dogmeat is fighting, as well as a dead Scavenger, presumably Dogmeat's former owner.

Scrapyard has several radioactive pools that can easily be avoided and a myriad of vehicles to crawl around on, but appears to be empty of any particularly useful items. There is a locked shed in the scrapyard that requires a key to open. Once you to take the Contract Killer Perk you can enter the shed. Inside you will meet Daniel Littlehorn who will buy any ears you collect while you have the perk.

Scrapyard is also the final location of an Unmarked Quest, John's Treasure Box, which is a "safe" in the top northwestern corner containing three skill books. Look for the big red train car to the right of a radiation cesspool. Touching the red car's southern tip is a bus/train car that is cut in two. Enter the bus and look for two stairs facing south which exit the bus doorway. On the floor is John's Treasure Box. It resembles an ammunition box and is locked (hard). Inside are copies of:
 * Grognak the Barbarian
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes
 * Guns and Bullets

The key for John's Treasure Box can only be obtained off a Wastelander who you'll find being attacked by Vicious Dogs somewhere totally random throughout the Capital Wasteland. The Wastelander will also have a Wastelander Note with instructions which lead you to the Scrapyard and John's Treasure Box.
