West point in terms of size, is smaller than Muldraugh. However, it has a larger population and a population density than Muldraugh so enemies are clumped in larger packs. The houses are closer to each other as well.

The map has been remade completely for RC2.9, since the streaming system enables a much larger, continuous world. Currently the map consists of the towns Muldraugh and West Point, with a vast but almost completely unfinished world around it. Mauldaugh alone is 8 map cells, whereas the 0.2.0 version map fit in one cell. The map is heavily inspired by the real towns of Muldraugh and West Point.

West point has been added to the north east of Muldraugh. West Point is smaller in size (estimated to be about 6 cells) but has a larger population than Muldraugh and is more dense with enemies.

Future locations will include vast forests surrounding the town, highways off the town, farm houses near the outskirts of towns, and even more cities—perhaps eventually Louisville.

Muldraugh

Muldraugh has 342 buildings of town and a former population of "3566". 40 of the buildings being the "Special" buildings noted below which usually have more loot, more valuable loot, or are just monuments of the pre-apocalyptic world.

Pre-0.2.0r RC2.9

Knox County, as of v2.0q. (click for a bigger version)
A completed map of Knox County, showing the City, the Northern Highway, the Farmhouse and the off-grid Forests. (click for a bigger version)

The main map is currently divided in 4 quadrants with another off-grid map which contains randomly generated forests and the newly added Well.

This map is no longer worked on but will be playable in future builds.

The Suburbs

The Suburbs was originally the only explorable area of Knox County, until the addition of the Forest in 0.2.0. Currently, it contains 22 buildings of varying sizes, from small one-room shacks to shops and houses. There's at least one warehouse and multiple shops, while the rest are houses. The Suburbs are currently located in the Northwestern quadrant of the main map.

The Woods

Not to be confused with the off-grid Forest, these small Woods are located in the Southwestern quadrant of the main map. In the southwest part of this quadrant is a 2 story house with a Barn beside it. In the northwest part of this quadrant is a small woodcutter shack which often contains carpentry tools and you can easily access the suburbs through the path north of it.

The Villas

Located in the Northeastern quadrant is a luxurious set of 6 Villas, containing each 1 garage, 1 big kitchen, 2 bathrooms on each floors and 3 bedrooms. An ideal getaway for building a nice fortress as many trees surround the Villas like a protective barrier. In the southern part of this quadrant is also a small Fast Food Restaurant.

The Downtown District

Containing mostly shops and office buildings, the Downtown District is located in the Southeastern quadrant. A perfect sector for quick supply runs. The most important buildings in this quadrant is the game's second storage Warehouse and the big Restaurant right next to it.

The Northern Highway

Northwest from the Villas is the Northern Highway. Entering this area brings you to a different map cell. This long road stretches for many cells, but in the first cell on the left side of the road there will be a small farm house. If you continue on the Northern Highway to the second cell you will come across an opening to a dirt path. That dirt path leads you to another map cell and to a large farm filled with wheat fields, small shacks, a well, and a barn.

Off-Grid Forest

The Forest was the second explorable area of Knox County. It contains about six hundred trees and a farmhouse in the center. The farmhouse contains no materials but houses some survivors.

Additions

See the Mods section for user made map cells, which expand onto the default map cells.
