Monongah

Monongah is a town in the Savage Divide region of Appalachia in 2102.

History
Prior to the Great War, Monongah was in severe financial straits, suffering a heavy recession because of a downturn in the mining economy. Initially believing that it had been saved due to the intervention of Hornwright Industrial's mining operation there, it would eventually be realized that this was a pipe dream, owing to poor yields from mining.

Layout
Monongah is a small pre-War town near the Monongah power plant at the border of the Savage Divide and the Forest regions of Appalachia. Before the Great War, it housed the workers of the nearby power plant and also the miners of the area. Post-war, the town is abandoned. The Scorched and radrats can roam the area, in addition to Liberators.

Behind the scenes
Monongah is an actual town in West Virginia with a history of mining. It is closer to Prickett's Fort in real life, both flanking Fairmont in Marion County. While Old Monongah Road is here in-game, the real-life road of the same name is in Fairmont.
