Towns

Towns are the settled places of Knox Country, the corner of Kentucky where the Knox Event breaks out. The in-game world map labels Brandenburg, Echo Creek, Ekron, Fallas Lake, Irvington, Louisville, March Ridge, Muldraugh, Riverside, Rosewood, Valley Station and West Point. Every town except Louisville is a starting point for new characters. Each one has its own mix of homes, stores, police stations and landmarks.

Muldraugh and West Point

Muldraugh is the classic starting town, based on the real town of the same name. The game's spawn text describes an old Army town that now houses commuters, military families and people living below the poverty line. It boasts a sizable motel, a primary school, a huge lumberyard and the finest Spiffo burgers in Kentucky. Notable buildings include Cortman Medical, McCoy Logging Co., Muldraugh Elementary, the Muldraugh Police Department, The Rusty Rifle and the Sunstar Motel. In-game newspapers report an "unusual illness" among Muldraugh residents as the outbreak begins.

West Point lies north of Muldraugh and is based on the real West Point. The spawn text calls it "true Small Town USA" and an administrative hub for Knox Country. Its mayor can often be found in the famous Twiggy's Bar. West Point DIY, the West Point Gun Range and Hunting Center, a Pharmahug, a school and a police station fill its streets.

Riverside and Brandenburg

Riverside hugs the banks of the Ohio River in northern Knox Country. The older part of town lies to the west, and wealthier residents live to the east. Nearby, the West Maple Country Club offers a golf course, tennis courts, a pool and bars. The town also holds a wrecking yard, a gated community, Riverside Suites, a Pharmahug, a police station and a school.

Brandenburg lies on the south bank of the Ohio, west of Riverside. The spawn text recalls its steamboat era, and the P.S. Delilah riverboat still sits docked there. The town is recovering from a tornado, and in-game newspapers mention disaster funds on the way. Pondview Shopping Center, the Brandenburg Detention Center, the Brandenburg Judicial Court, Maj. Saunders Middle School and a destroyed train yard stand there. A military blockade also sits in town.

Rosewood and March Ridge

Rosewood is a small town in southern Knox Country. The spawn text jokes that a long stay is less fun for the inmates of the prison nearby. It calls Rosewood a hub for administration and community services, with a refurbished courthouse, fire department and law enforcement facility. The Kentucky State Prison, the Kentucky Court of Justice, the Rosewood Fire Department, Rosewood Medical, Econo-Rooms and the Onyx Drive-In Theater stand there.

March Ridge is a small gated military town south of Muldraugh. The spawn text calls it the home of many of Fort Knox's soldiers and their families. It offers Hit Vids, the Star-E-Plex cinema and tours of an abandoned Cold War nuclear bunker. The Knox Military Apartments, the March Ridge Community Center, a Family Medical Center and March Ridge School stand there. In-game newspapers report a military truck crash near March Ridge in the first days of the outbreak.

Western Towns

Echo Creek is a humble farming town surrounded by fields and forests. The spawn text says its people farm, pray and keep to themselves. It is the gateway to the western reaches, with Ekron to the west, Irvington to the south and Brandenburg to the north. Ovo Farms, Gas 2 Go, Guns Unlimited and Speedy GO are there.

Ekron is a tiny town between Brandenburg and Irvington. Most residents work at the AMZ Steelworks plant or commute to the larger towns. Ekron Community College, Barrel o' Gun, a Pharmahug, a Family Medical Center and Home Sweet Gnome are there.

Irvington lies in the southwest. The spawn text calls it "a global byword for SPEED!" thanks to the Irvington Speedway. Locals play games at the Wizard's Keep, buy guns at Well Regulated Militia and browse cattle at Brott Cattle Farm. Hobbs & Perkins Hardware and a Farming & Rural Supply store are there too.

Fallas Lake is a small farming town in central Knox Country, between Riverside and Rosewood. The spawn text says its people are farmers, lake fishers and travelers passing through. It has a Farming & Rural Supply store, a medical clinic, a police station, a town hall and E.P. Tools.

Louisville and Valley Station

Louisville is the largest city in Knox Country. It sits behind the Exclusion Zone border in the north. The city holds the Louisville Expo Center, Spiffo's headquarters, the Fossoil Refinery, the Grand Ohio Mall, Louisville State University, St. Peregrin Hospital, Louisville General Hospital and the Louisville Police Department. The broadcasters LBMW and Triple-N are based there. Its paper map is split into several sheets.

Valley Station lies just south of Louisville along the Dixie Highway. The spawn text calls it rural life at its most relaxing, with the Ohio flowing past and Jefferson Forest nearby. Crossroads Mall, a drag racing strip, a StarEPlex cinema and the Knob Creek Hunting Lodge stand there.

Maps

Paper maps cover the main towns. Map: Muldraugh, Map: West Point, Map: Riverside, Map: Rosewood and Map: March Ridge each show one town. Louisville comes as Map: Louisville Northwest through Map: Louisville Southeast. Reading a map fills in that part of the world map.

Notes

• The Ohio River runs along the north of Knox Country, and the Salt River flows south of Valley Station.
• Fort Knox appears in lore as the base of the soldiers who live in March Ridge.
• Annotated maps for the towns lead to hidden stashes.
