Gulf of Mexico

The Gulf of Mexico is a massive ocean basin, largely surrounded by the North American continent.

Background
Prior to the Great War, a deserter from the United States Army tried to escape from the authorities by stealing a speedboat and escaping into the gulf, but was killed by the USS Wade.

Raul Tejada left Mexico City after losing his sister, traveling towards the coast. He would eventually make his home in an abandoned Petró-Chico refinery on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

After living in the badlands of Nevada, Tycho took off wandering the deserts with traders and explores for many years, traveling as far as the Gulf of Mexico.

In the decades since the Great War, the banks of the Gulf of Mexico greatly receded. After Michael Reese began experimenting with the prototype Garden of Eden Creation Kit at the Corpus Christi Naval Base, the gulf returned, flooding many cities along the coast.

Appearances
The Gulf of Mexico is mentioned in Fallout: New Vegas, the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders, and the Fallout Bible. It was going to appear in the canceled Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2.
