Doe Valley is a vast stretch of farmland covering most of the north central part of Knox Country. Riverside lies to the north, Rosewood to the south and Doe Valley Forest to the west.
Almost the whole valley is open fields and small farmhouses. Lone homes and lines of produce warehouses dot the land between the towns. Most of the area's shops and services gather in two small villages. Fallas Lake is the named town in the north. An unnamed hamlet on the western edge, which survivors often call Jamieton, holds the rest.
Most survivors cross the valley on the way between Riverside, Rosewood and the forest towns. Those who stay find one of the safest regions on the map. Zombie numbers across the open farmland are very low, and the fields, woods and ponds give everything needed for a rural life. The trade off is distance, since supplies gather in the villages and the roads are long.
Doe Valley Layout
Fallas Lake fills the northern district. It holds a police station, a town hall, a train station, gun and hunting stores, hardware stores, groceries, a pharmacy and a medical clinic. North of the town, the far edge of the valley holds small lakes and houses beside wheat farms.
The western hamlet sits near the edge of the forest. It holds Jamieton Army Surplus, Lenny's Car Repair, a gas station, the County Offices, a laundromat and a small market with a food market, a clothing store and a medical clinic. More farmhouses and homesteads surround it.
The eastern district is quiet farmland around Pony Roam-O, a small horse stable. Hodgetts Farm stands here too, southeast of Fallas Lake.
The central district runs south from Fallas Lake toward Rosewood. It is almost all farmland, with lone houses and the odd produce warehouse. A farmer's market and an ice cream parlor sit along the road south of Fallas Lake.
Fallas Lake lies to the north. Rosewood is to the southeast, and Hog Wallow Forest to the south.

Possible Loot Items in Doe Valley
Jamieton Army Surplus is the biggest prize in the valley. It holds large amounts of valuable gear, but zombies crowd around it. The rest of the western hamlet adds food from the market, medicine from the clinic and car parts at Lenny's Car Repair.
Fallas Lake has the widest mix of shops. The police station and AIMerica Guns & Ammo give weapons. The pharmacy and medical clinic give medicine. E.P. Tools and the other hardware store give tools. Farming & Rural Supply, the butcher, the bakery and the grocers cover food and farm gear. The Good Book is the place for books, and the hunting store gives outdoor gear.
The produce warehouses scattered across the fields hold crates full of vegetable and fruit sacks. The crops rot within the first week, so an early visit gives a large food haul. Later on, the rotten produce still serves as compost for farming.
Farmhouses across the valley give ordinary house loot. Some, like Hodgetts Farm, have basements and storage rooms with tools.

Surviving in Doe Valley
Doe Valley is one of the safest regions in Knox Country. The rural areas have very low zombie density, so lone houses make good safehouses. Many sit with woods on one side for logs and foraging, and open fields on the other for farming. Small lakes, ponds and a river in the north and west give water and fishing. Some properties in the eastern district have wells with endless clean water.
Fallas Lake and the western hamlet are the exceptions, with decent zombie numbers. Clearing them takes more care than the open farms.
The valley's main danger is distance. Skill books, vehicle parts, weapons, canned food and winter clothing are best brought from other towns. Stocking them before settling saves many risky trips. Running out of fuel or breaking down far from a village is a real threat. Carrying spare fuel and keeping a second vehicle in mind makes every road trip safer.
Notes
- Zombie density across the open farmland is very low.
- Jamieton Army Surplus holds the best loot, but draws a crowd.
- Produce warehouses give a large food haul in the first week.
- Rotten produce still works as compost for farming.
- Some eastern farms have wells with clean water.
- Spare fuel matters on the long valley roads.
