Valley Station is a large rural area in northeast Knox Country, just south of Louisville. It is based on the real Valley Station neighborhood of Louisville. The Dixie Highway runs through its western section, along the Ohio River.
Valley Station offers rural life at its most relaxing, only a short drive from the city. Locals spent their days watching the river flow past. They went birdwatching, walking or hunting in Jefferson Forest. When they missed the city, they shopped at the Crossroads Mall.
The area mixes several very different places. A developed strip runs along the highway by the river. Quiet farms spread across the inner valley. A hunting lodge and shooting range sit on Knob Creek Road. A huge mall and cinema stand to the east, and deep forest covers the south.
Valley Station suits a survivor who wants a calm home close to nature. Louisville lies close by for big supply runs. The hunting lodge and the mall give strong reasons to visit even without settling down.

Starting in Valley Station
A new character in Valley Station begins in a single story house right next to the Junk Baron and a grocery store. Food is close from the first hour. The first goals are a weapon and a safe base. The Knob Creek Hunting Lodge and the shooting range make strong early targets for guns. The Crossroads Mall is best saved until the character can handle a crowd in the open.
