Point Lookout (location)

Point Lookout is a swampland area outside the Capital Wasteland. This area was never directly hit by the bombs, but here wasteland's desert gives way to dense swamps and abandoned buildings where the nature gradually removes the human presence. The area is home to Swampfolk, a highly deformed people who live all around the swamps. Ghouls and Mirelurks are common sight here as well.

Point Lookout is almost devoid of organized society, aside from Tobar the Ferryman, Haley's Hardware, Madame Panada, and the Point Lookout Tribals, it is extremely difficult to find someone to trade with.

Many references to the civil war can be found in the graveyards, and Mausoleums that dot the area, as well as the abundance of Confederate hats, and Lever-action rifles.

The area become known to outsiders thanks to Punga Fruit, an unique fruit known to grow only in the local bogs, and many legends about treasures hidden here.

Even though it wasn't directly hit by the bombs, the water is irradiated. This could be explained by a (very likely) connection to other water sources or the rain. It can also be explained by the fact that a nuclear detonation in other cities could kick up enough radiation to travel the distance to Point Lookout, and over time, settle over the region.

The radiation led to the birth and evolution of the swampfolk, irradiated water, and unusual patches of an unknown, green, smoking substance that releases flammable bubbles occasionally.
