	Fallout 3 unmarked location Calverton
	Calverton and the chapel
	Site Map Marker None (nearest: between Jury Street metro station and Evergreen Mills)

 

Calverton is the small abandoned town with a chapel southwest of Jury Street metro station. It is not marked on the world map.

Layout

Church

The church is easily spotted from the southwest. To the right of the church is a small graveyard fenced off by a broken white picket fence. In the church entrance is a tripwire, which triggers a shotgun trap, and in the back is a grenade trap triggered by a pressure plate. There is also a podium, some barrels, and a few beds. There is a captive to the left of the bed.

Surrounding area

The town consists of a few buildings, mostly being boarded up and a couple which you can enter unharmed.

Random encounter

One of at least three encounters will happen here:

• Super mutants will be holding a wastelander hostage. You can kill the super mutants and save the wastelander for a small boost of karma.
• A wastelander being chased by a raider with a flamer. The wastelander cannot be saved as it is a scripted event.
• Raiders with lead pipes will come after you, in addition to the raider with the flamer.

Notable loot

Church

• Lying, Congressional Style in the speakers podium.
• Pugilism Illustrated on the floor in a corner of the bathroom.
• Mini nuke under/or on a table.
• A paint gun and surgical tubing for building the dart gun.
• A steam gauge assembly and a pressure cooker for the railway rifle.
• Leaf blower for the Rock-It Launcher.
• Leather belt for the deathclaw gauntlet.

Town

• Nikola Tesla and You in the southwestern-most house south of the church, on top of a bookshelf.
• A hard locked safe is in the house directly south of the chapel.
• A copy of U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes can be found inside a truck on the east side of the village.
• A pre-War book is in a house with a scavenger and his dog, far east of the main town area. The house can be found by following the power lines east past the aforementioned truck, a billboard, and a series of small shacks. It's just before reaching a large power pylon. The book is on a table to the right of a couch under a small scorched book, and it must be stolen.

Notes

• A random encounter may occur here. One of these may ignite a vehicle, causing it to explode and scattering several items inside the chapel some distance.
• To the north is the super mutant camp mentioned in the Search party log.
• It is possible that there are no super mutants in the chapel, and the prisoner is alone inside.
• One of the gravestones has a plunger stuck to it.
• You may also encounter Enclave soldiers and an officer if you've completed The Waters of Life quest.

Behind the scenes

• There is a real-life Calverton, but it is located in the Maryland suburbs, not Virginia where the in-game version is. It would be approximately just off the map, due east of the Republic of Dave.

Appearances

Calverton appears only in Fallout 3.
