March Ridge is a small gated military town in southern Knox Country. It lies south of Muldraugh and southeast of Rosewood. The Dixie Highway runs along its eastern side.
The town was home to many soldiers from Fort Knox and their families. Its streets follow a strict, orderly plan, and access was secured. Off duty life still had its comforts. Locals rented films at Hit Vids and caught new releases at the StarEPlex. A Cold War nuclear bunker on the edge of town was open for tours.
March Ridge is mostly homes, with a business district in the middle. That district holds a large amount of loot. The dead are fairly many for so small a town, and they spread widely.
The town counts as a medium place to survive. It is harder than Rosewood or Riverside and easier than Muldraugh. Firearms turn up in large numbers here. With guns in hand, the crowds become fairly easy to manage. March Ridge suits a survivor who wants to build up aiming skills.
March Ridge Layout
March Ridge splits into three parts. Two large residential districts fill the eastern and western sides. The business district sits in the centre between them.
The homes are one or two stories tall and often cramped inside. Almost every building looks the same. It is surprisingly easy to get lost in such a small town.
The business district holds the shops, the March Ridge Community Center and the Knox Military Apartments. Nourish Food Mart, the 24 Hour Essentials gas station, Pharmahug and the Family Medical Center all stand here. The post office and several restaurants sit nearby.
The StarEPlex cinema and a bar lie at the northern edge. March Ridge School stands on the west side. The Cold War bunker lies just beyond the western edge. The church stands to the east.
Muldraugh lies to the north and Rosewood to the northwest. Camp Arthur and Dark Wallow Lake lie to the southwest.

Possible Loot Items in March Ridge
The business district holds the best loot in March Ridge.
The Knox Military Apartments are the prize of the town. They hold large numbers of firearms. They also hold the biggest crowd in town, spread across several floors.
Nourish Food Mart is a large supermarket and the main food stop. Go 2 Bread, Mendy's Eatery, Seahorse Coffee and the other restaurants hold more food and kitchen supplies.
Pharmahug and the Family Medical Center stand side by side. Together they cover medicine and bandages. The post office is another notable stop in the business district.
The 24 Hour Essentials station supplies fuel. Filigree Fashions covers clothing. The laundromats hold cleaning supplies. The March Ridge Community Center is one of the key buildings worth a search.
Homes on the east and west sides give moderate loot for the risk. They are small, so even survivor homes hold less than usual.
Firearms are common across the town. The steady supply of guns makes March Ridge a good place to train aiming and reloading.

Surviving in March Ridge
The greatest danger in March Ridge is the Knox Military Apartments. The crowd inside is large and should never be underestimated. Loud noise outside the building pulls zombies down from the upper floors. They pour out into the street to investigate. Clearing the apartments needs careful preparation.
The rest of the business district holds a moderate to high crowd. Its loot rewards the risk.
The residential districts are calmer. The crowd there is moderate, and so is the loot.
The identical buildings make it easy to lose track of direction. A survivor should learn a few landmarks before running from a horde. The StarEPlex and the community centre make good reference points.
Most characters and builds do well in March Ridge. The Dixie Highway on the east side gives a fast road north to Muldraugh.
Starting in March Ridge
A new character in March Ridge wakes up inside the gates of a military town. The first goals are a weapon and food from nearby houses. Nourish Food Mart and Pharmahug cover food and medicine early. The Knox Military Apartments hold guns, but they are best left until the character is well prepared.
