It was my thoughts as well, so maybe there are quite a few places that were going to be player housing but were cut. This is why we need and option for a small portable workbench that are very limited to make. Or it takes a lot of materials to craft or something like that.
It would be cool to set up shop there, seeing as there is power armor work station there.
My thing is if it wasn't meant to be found, then why place things in and around the area? I know there are quite a few things on the outskirts of the map that are hard to find but are cool little easter egg type things.
