California State Route 127 or Death Valley Road is a pre-War roadway and mentioned-only location in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
Background[]
Leading up to the mid-2270s, travelers from the New California Republic used the road to get around the mountains serving as a natural border between California and the Mojave Wasteland in Nevada, also allowing them to avoid hazardous areas like the Big Empty. Sometime after the First Battle of Hoover Dam in 2277, however, the destruction of the region known as the Divide resulted in the NCR's supply line through there being cut off by the violent, powerful storms blanketing the area.[1][2]
Appearances[]
California State Route 127 is mentioned only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
Behind the scenes[]

Joshua Graham: "Love the sinner, hate the sin. With Caesar, it's often very difficult to see through all of that sin to the person inside. I can say that we were both lucky that NCR's supply lines and land routes north of Mojave Outpost were destroyed before the Battle of Hoover Dam. Something bad happened near Death Valley, at a place called the Divide. NCR couldn't cut across anymore and it slowed down their reinforcements. Terrible storms ripped entire companies apart before they even got to Nevada soil. The aftermath of Hoover Dam could have been even worse for Caesar."
(Joshua Graham's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "The Divide blocked all of their northern land routes?"
Joshua Graham: "Not all of them. But they couldn't take 127 north to get around the mountains. As if Death Valley weren't enough, they had the Divide and Big Empty to deal with. From what the Legion's explorers reported, the Big Empty may as well have been a wall to any living thing approaching it."
