The Abandoned Settlement is a tiny, decrepit hamlet in the eastern part of Knox Country, close to Muldraugh. The hamlet sits hidden in the woods east of the town.
The settlement is a cluster of old wooden buildings around a small lake. A church with a little graveyard stands out among them, along with a pigsty. Only one building is truly run down, but the old look and the empty rooms show that people left long ago.
Few survivors pass through by accident. The trail in is overgrown with trees, so a car cannot reach it without felling them first. That isolation is the main draw. Zombies are rare here, and the place works as a quiet hideout for anyone who wants solitude away from the crowds of Muldraugh.
Abandoned Settlement Layout
The buildings stand around a small lake in the middle of the settlement. A second overgrown trail leads away to a bigger lake further on. The church and its graveyard are the clearest landmark, and the pigsty sits nearby.
Muldraugh and Dixie Trailer Park lie to the west, across the woods. The Trainyard is to the southwest. Jefferson Forest stretches away to the north. Reaching any of them means a walk through trees or a long session with an axe to clear the trail for a vehicle.

Possible Loot Items in Abandoned Settlement
The hunting shack is the one building worth a proper search. It holds hunting supplies, which suit a survivor planning to live off the woods. Several of them hold antique ovens, which give a working place to cook off the grid. Food, medicine and tools have to come from Muldraugh or the trailer park.
Surviving in Abandoned Settlement
Safety is the strength of this place. Very few zombies wander here, so a survivor can rest and work in peace. The lakes give a steady supply of water for boiling, and they suit fishing. The antique ovens make cooking easy from the first day.
The overgrown trail cuts both ways. It keeps traffic and wandering hordes out, but it also slows any escape by car. Clearing a path with an axe opens a vehicle route to Muldraugh and the highway. A base here works best for a survivor who stocks up in town first and then retreats to the woods for the long term.
Notes
- The trail in is overgrown, so a car needs the trees cut first.
- The hunting shack holds the only real loot.
- Antique ovens in the houses allow cooking off the grid.
- Zombies are rare, which makes this a strong hideout.
