Behind the scenes

 * This location may be referring to the cut location Malpais Legionaire Camp, which appeared on an early map of Fallout: New Vegas, and is directly across the Colorado River from Camp Forlorn Hope.
 * Malpais Legionaire Camp is similarly located to the real world location of Malpais Flattop Mesa in Mohave County, Arizona.
 * Malpais is the Spanish word for "badlands", though, ironically, it describes a different landscape. Badlands are highly eroded sedimentary plains, while Malpais refers to igneous plains with sparse vegetation.
