western US Arkfall map

[Thunderclap]

Since I asked politely for everyone here to stay on topic so will I.


This is a screen shot that shows where the 9 western US arkfalls occurred during the arkfall event. It also gives a picture of what the coast looks like. I am working on overlaying that to an actual map so we can see what cities are gone entirely.

Hello Thunderclap,

This new world needs more cartographers, I was about to start a new thread, but luckily I found yours. So I'll add what I have concluded so far.

From the account of Renee Kirby, the cities of "...Spokane... Seattle to Portland, Salem to Sacramento" still exist. A huge chunk of Oregon is underwater. It seems that the terraforming raised the northern part of the Willamette Valley, as evidenced by the shifting of the Columbia river to the north of Portland, and the lack of Salem being underwater. In the VBI recruitment ad that shows the coordinates of the SFBA arkfall, there is an arkfall East of Portland around The Dalles area, this can explain the geographic shape of Oregon. So there might be more than 9 arkfalls, at least 11 if you merge the two images.

How is your overlay coming along? Do you need any help? The map of "the storm-divide" shows some westcost cities, including an Oregon city of My-Vrvya, but I am having trouble posting the image.

Good luck.

I am curious as to how there is no recorded information of any Arkfall in, let's say, St. Louis. What we see is mostly placed in the western area in which the Stratocarrier flew from East to West. They could have easily seen the area as they moved along. We also see one in Nevada, which apparently I hear a season will take place in this as well.

Arkfalls happen all over, but due to the distribution of the Arkbelt debris in orbit, the west US coast seems to get a statistically higher rate of of arkfall fragments fall. There are a number of maps already release of area of the US that can be found here:

Sorry, at work so can't link direct.

Thanks for the link Smitch, they can also be found on Facebook. In your link, mapflashcard2.jpg is what I was referring to in the last bit of my previous post (map of storm divide), it shows the whole of the west coat. Maybe the VBI video is stylized to show where the ship is headed to (west coast), and why (arkfalls), and not to show the precise locations of arkfalls.

Wow that's pretty cool. Nice find. Where do you get those cards in the first place, like physically I mean.

They're not available physically as such. There is a whole pile. There are three for 4 of the Votan races (Irathient, Castithan, Liberata & Indogene - Sensoth got no love. ) a few for vehicles, 4 or 5 on language etc. *most* of them are at that site. Some on the Facebook page as well.

According to one of the Madera data logs, Fresno is a city/state and there is a New Kansas Territory. From the first episode, we get Kansas City.

It is progressing however, the North America Map that Defiance show releaded was hand drawn. No amount of Photoshop magic with overlay it with a Google earth map of North America. I did learn that according to my great lakes overlay that Buffalo, pieces of Detroit, and most of upper Wisconsin are under water.

Well, I saw that Florida was quarantined a while ago, so no FL for any of us.
