How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The Brotherhood of Steel's fortified bunker in the Central Valley, where the Vault Dweller must prove themselves before the Brotherhood will share its knowledge. The game takes its name from the real town but shows none of it.

The real place

Lost Hills is a small farming town of about 2,400 people in western Kern County. It sits among almond and pistachio orchards next to the Lost Hills Oil Field, where hundreds of pump jacks work day and night.

Visiting

The town is a fuel and food stop on Interstate 5, about 70 km north-west of Bakersfield. There is no bunker to visit, but the pump jacks of the oil field just outside town are a striking sight at sunset.
