Coalfield is a Wild West themed tourist attraction in Doe Valley Forest, in the northwest of Knox Country. Signs also call it Historical Coalfield, and it is reached from Kentucky 60.
The site is a mock frontier town. One main street holds a church, a sheriff's office, general stores, a hardware shop, a beauty parlor, a bank, a blacksmith, saloons and an inn. Mock homes surround the businesses, and a graveyard with a hanging platform sits at the edge of town.
The old style buildings hide some highly useful equipment. The blacksmith is the star, with a full setup for metalworking. Rain barrels, animal troughs and old stoves stand around the town, ready to use. The zombie count is low, so Coalfield is a strong choice for a quiet base with real crafting value.
Coalfield Layout
The businesses line a single main street running east to west. The cemetery and the church stand at the western end. Greengrocer Dry Goods, Iron West Hardware and El Grande Saloon come next. The middle of the street holds Horseshoe Taphouse, Miss Honey's Beauty Parlor, the Sheriff and Rancher Chophouse. Porter & Son General Store, the Bank, Coalfield Public House and Smith & Farrier close out the eastern end. Coalfield Inn sits just south of the street.
A hanging post platform and a large mock graveyard lie west of town, with a large barn to the east. A small stream runs to the west.
The rest of Doe Valley Forest stretches to the southeast. A pit stop with a gas station, a gun store and a camping store lies a short drive southeast on Kentucky 60. Deerhead Lake and Camp Camus are to the east. Meadshire Estate is to the southeast.

Possible Loot Items in Coalfield
Smith & Farrier is the building to visit first. It holds an advanced forge, blacksmithing tools and other equipment for metalworking. Iron West Hardware doubles as a souvenir shop. It, the general stores and the saloons hold mostly bottles, trinkets and souvenirs. Twig brooms turn up in large numbers across town. They break down into long sticks, which suit a survivor who fights with spears.
The town's fixed structures are as valuable as its loot. Rain collector barrels, animal troughs and old stoves stand ready around the site. They save a survivor the skills and materials needed to build them.

Surviving in Coalfield
Coalfield is one of the safer bases in the forest. Zombie numbers are low, and the mock buildings give plenty of room to settle. The rain barrels catch water, and the stream to the west gives endless water and fishing.
Food is the main challenge over time. Fishing, foraging and farming skills give a renewable supply. Most towns are far away, so supply runs need a vehicle. The pit stop on Kentucky 60 is the nearest place for fuel, guns and camping gear. Brandenburg lies further north along the highway for bigger runs.
