Jacobstown

Jacobstown is a location in Fallout: New Vegas that is home to Marcus, a recurring character from Fallout 2. Given the snowy climate and the look of the town itself, it appears to be a ski lodge or resort with certain modified or fortified parts, located in the nearby Mount Charleston area northwest of New Vegas. Jacobstown is named after Jacob, a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin.

Layout
