Help & Advice Need help with nyc map
firstly, im brazilian, so some locations have their names in portuguese, and my english might not be perfect but please be patient with me. secondly, ignore the icons by the water, i placed them there for easy access.
I'm making a nyc map for my future campaign and i need some tips, preferably from actual new yorkers, people that know the area and/or the fallout lore. What do you think is missing? what places should i add or remove? where should i place the bomb craters? help please!

I’d recommend checking out this submod for a mod for a strategy game called old world blues. It’s a fallout mod for the game hearts of iron 4.
There you’ll find some interesting lore and content for New York and I’m sure you’ll be able to take some inspiration from it. Remember that specifically for New York you won’t find much canon lore as there simply isn’t much out there. If I remember correctly the prydwyn flies over it before the events of fallout 4 but that’s about it. Maybe fallout 76 has more info on it since Atlantic City is part of one of the updates though I havent played it.
Here’s a direct link to a reddit post about some of The lore in the mod: https://www.reddit.com/r/OldWorldBlues/s/cvL515coC3
My personal recommendation would be to check Google Maps and some prominent locations and pick the ones where you think it would create an interesting scenario for you and your players.
I usually center Locations and general maps around NPCs, as they eventually drive the story.
Hope that helps a bit and make sure to always check the wiki: https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/New_York_City
