Quarry Junction

Quarry Junction is an abandoned limestone quarry in the Mojave Wasteland It is overrun by deathclaws.

Background
The quarry is the primary source of limestone used for mixing cement and concrete used by New California Republic engineers in construction, primarily fortifications against Caesar's Legion. The materials mined here are sent to Boulder City for mixing by rail and from there to the various construction sites along the Colorado River. The workers benefit from pre-War draglines present on site, which increases their output, despite needing maintenance. The only drawback is that workers are paid in NCR dollars, rather than the Hub's bottle caps.

After the NCRCF prison break, the Powder Gangers stole the supply of dynamite, and the deathclaws moved into the quarry after activity subsided. The workers are waiting for someone to come and help, as they are in no shape to challenge deathclaws. While they were waiting they constructed warning signs around the area.

Layout
The quarry has two entrances, including one entrance that is found by traveling on the road northeast of Sloan. Another entrance is next to the Great Khan encampment to the west of Quarry Junction, between Goodsprings Cemetery and Quarry Junction. This entrance has members of the Great Khans nearby, waiting to complete a drug deal. The rest of the quarry has natural borders made of large mountains and limestone deposits that prevent entry. The workers and residents of Sloan have even posted signs near the quarry warning travelers that there are deathclaws in that area, even as far as Goodsprings Cemetery.

There are many deathclaws guarding both entrances, and the inside contains even more. There are also young deathclaws, a deathclaw alpha male, and the deathclaw mother with her litter of babies. She's walking around at the back of the quarry near her den, which includes human remains and a super stimpak.
