Map of USA : Fallout Series Discussion

Anyone know if theres a post-nuclear map of USA and maybe Canada?
One that would show major locations and areas of influence of each faction/city/nation.

Such as California would have differend colors in it depicting Enclave, Vault City and Shi spheres of influence.

No, because we've barely explored even a small fraction of it in the games.

There is some background info, like that BoS controls Chicago, and Enclave has bases around Capital Wasteland and Alaska.
Fallout Bible also has much info on who is and where.

But if there ain't a map, then there isn't.

The most detailed map so far, showing locations from all games, although it needs an update for some FO3 locations:

Good maps indeed

I am very into maps and geography, and those are interesting to examine.

I may be mistaken but isn't Necropolis east of Junktown?

Good point.

I think that has to do with a mistake in the game.... The developers got the location of Bakersfield wrong and I think that map puts it geographically accurate.

Edit: From the Vault:

Inconsistencies

In Fallout 1, according to the Vault-Tec Vault Locations holodisk, Vault 12 was located in Bakersfield. However, while Necropolis lies to the Northeast of Los Angeles, the actual city of Bakersfield is not far to the Southwest of the Lost Hills bunker (which is not a Vault, but a military bunker, as suggested by Captain Maxson's log). The location of Necropolis roughly matches the town of Barstow. It can be assumed that while Necropolis was initially placed where Bakersfield is, the locations were moved at a later date to spread them out better along the map.

Yes, it is not clear which location of Necropolis should be considered canon - Bakersfield (where it is said to be in the game) or Barstow (where it is shown to be in the game). The maker of the map chose the former, and even the developers aren't sure.
