Knob Hill Mine, or Knob Hill, is an unused location in the Mojave Wasteland.

Background[]

Overlooking the Colorado River, a mine shaft connecting to the nearby Techatticup Mine was filled in, no longer providing access after it was filled with abandoned radioactive waste barrels.[1][2]

Appearances[]

Knob Hill Mine is mentioned in the Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition and appeared on an early map of Fallout: New Vegas, where it was southwest of Nelson[3] but was ultimately not included in the final game.

Behind the scenes[]

The fictional Knob Hill Mine is based on the real-world Knob Hill Spring in Clark County, Nevada.[4]

    [6.S08] Knob Hill: "This rarely tracked area offers exceptional views of the river. At this point there's a filled-in mine shaft that used to lead to Techatticup Mine."

  2. Fallout: New Vegas Official Game Guide Collector's Edition Tour of the Mojave Wasteland: Techatticup Mine, p. 419: "Also known colloquially in the past as Knob Hill Mine, this hole in the ground is at the turnaround at the end of the road from Nelson, and seems to have been a dumping ground, or storage area for radioactive waste that the Legion now occasionally utilities. Along the road, you may meet Private Renolds, talking about "that bastard" Alexus; a Legion commander who's take his squad hostage. This begins Side Quest: Anywhere I Wander, but you can free (or ignore or kill) the NCR in here without running into Renolds. Check the Hollowed-Out Rock at the entrance before proceeding."
