Goodsprings

 is a town in the western Mojave Desert, and appears in Fallout: New Vegas. It supposedly holds the world's oldest saloon. Dr. Mitchell takes the Courier here after a friendly robot named Victor finds you buried.

The town struggles with two major problems - the geckos and the Powder Gang led by Joe Cobb. The disgruntled gangers are looking to blast the town into the Stone Age, and the geckos are always trying to drink their fill of the local water supply.

The town of Goodsprings can be destroyed by the Courier later in the game if the player works with Joe Cobb.

Layout
Goodsprings contains a schoolhouse that is used as a dungeon and a place to store loot. There is Doc Mitchell's house to the west, which you can use for storage until you get your own. The saloon and general store is to the north. Several settlers live in the town as well in the houses around Goodsprings, all of which you are able to access.

In one house, due south of the Saloon and fast travel point, everything is free for looting and appears to be empty during the day, but Easy Pete and a settler sleep there at night. The beds are not technically "owned" so you can sleep there if you are playing Hardcore Mode.

Goodsprings Cave is located to the southeast and is filled with coyotes and two dead wastelanders. Goodsprings Source is to the south. It is said that there is a Deathclaw lair about 5 minutes to the west of Goodsprings.

To the NE is Goodsprings Cemetary, and a Snowglobe as well. The Snowglobe is located at the head of a grave in front of a graver marker in the North-North Eastern section of the graveyard.
