Death Valley

Death Valley is a desert valley in New California, stretching across the border between the pre-War states of California and Nevada.
==Background==
Death Valley was one of the hottest places in the world before the Great War (enough to be a point of reference for heat).Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 4-23: "We reprogrammed your PIPBoy to keep track of the number of days remaining in the Vault water stores. This note is the only thing you should care about until we are safe and have a restored water processing chip. The note shows the number of days before we croak. If that happens, your adventures on the outside won’t be worth a set of thermal underwear in Death Valley at high noon! We’ll be dead. And we don’t want that. Go to it!" This did not preclude development: Hopeville and Ashton were two military cities established near the valley before the Great War, together with a network of nuclear missile silos. After the Great War, the region continued to be a lethal obstacle, together with the nearby Big Empty. The emergence of the Divide shortly before the First Battle of Hoover Dam severely complicated NCR Army logistics, as between the Death Valley, Big Empty, and the Divide, it prevented the use of California State Route 127 as a supply route,The Courier: "The Divide blocked all of their northern land routes?"Joshua Graham: "Not all of them. But they couldn't take 127 north to get around the mountains. As if Death Valley weren't enough, they had the Divide and Big Empty to deal with. From what the Legion's explorers reported, the Big Empty may as well have been a wall to any living thing approaching it."(Joshua Graham's dialogue) and wiped out all supply lines and land routes north of the Mojave Outpost, preventing the NCR from pursuing and destroying Caesar's Legion after the battle.The Courier: "I'm guessing you don't like Caesar very much."Joshua Graham: "Love the sinner, hate the sin. With Caesar, it's often very difficult to see through all of that sin to the person inside. I can say that we were both lucky that NCR's supply lines and land routes north of Mojave Outpost were destroyed before the Battle of Hoover Dam. Something bad happened near Death Valley, at a place called the Divide. NCR couldn't cut across anymore and it slowed down their reinforcements. Terrible storms ripped entire companies apart before they even got to Nevada soil. The aftermath of Hoover Dam could have been even worse for Caesar."(Joshua Graham's dialogue)
