added two Far Territory roads

New page

[[Great Bear Island]] features a number of prominent '''roads''' which used to connect the [[region|regions]] and their various locations prior to the earthquakes and the [[First Flare]]. When visibility is poor, following roads can make navigation much easier.

==Major roads==
These roads travel great distances through multiple regions of Great Bear Island, and are paved. There are three major roads, two of which are interconnected (Blackrock and Inland Highways).

===Blackrock Road===
This road starts at [[Mirthless Fork]] in [[Keeper's Pass South]] and goes over a long bridge. Soon thereafter, it's blocked by a rockfall, forcing the player to go through an ice cave to enter [[Keeper's Pass North]]. After going through a ravine and crossing over [[Builder's Bridge]], players can re-join the road as it follows a cliff above a river. Once in [[Blackrock]] the road is blocked again by a semi trailer at the [[Blocked Bridge]], forcing players to make another detour. After returning to the road, players will come to an intersection from which they may travel west or east.

====Western section====
Heading westward, the road passes by the [[Old Substation]], before coming to [[Narrow Bridge]], where players will have to carefully walk on the beams to avoid falling into the river below. A landslide blocks the road at [[Bear's Bend]], from which it continues northward to reach [[Grand Meadow]] and finally the [[Power Plant]].

====Eastern section====
East of the intersection, players will pass the ruins of the [[Jailer's Residence]], before coming to another intersection. Going northward will take players straight to [[Blackrock Prison]] after passing one [[vehicle]]. Continuing eastward, the road crosses a wooden bridge and passes by [[Cook's Farm]] and [[Foreman's Clearcut]], and, after a short walk, the transition cave to [[Timberwolf Mountain]].

Beyond the cave, this section of the road passes a small pond and the [[Bricklayer's Retreat]], before turning generally northward and passing by [[Wedge Cave]] and [[No Road Cave]]. The road ends at the [[Mule Bridge]], which is broken in Survival mode.

===Great Bear Highway===
This road starts at the [[Coastal Highway Terminus]], a fallen bridge in [[Bleak Inlet]]. The road goes past the [[Trailers west of the Cannery]] and the [[Last Resort Cannery|Cannery itself]], before crossing over the [[Long Bridge]]. An intersection leads up to the [[Coast Mountain Road]] near the [[Cannery Worker Residences]], followed by a bridge at [[Raven Crossing]]. A [[Landslide (Bleak Inlet)|landslide]] blocks the road as it heads to [[Coastal Highway]] itself.

In the Coastal Highway region, the same obstruction at the western end of the region is named the [[Rockfall]]. The road runs eastward skirting the coast, passing the [[Fishing Camp]], and the [[Log Sort]]. A minor road to the left leads up the hill towards the [[Trans-Island Railway Line]]. Then it passes the lower entrance to the [[Cinder Hills Coal Mine]], before arriving at the [[Coastal Townsite]]. The road passes by the [[Waterfront Cottages]] before being blocked again at the [[Commuter's Lament]], where it enters the [[Old Island Connector]]. In this region, the road passes by the [[Abandoned Harris Home]] before being blocked at the eastern end of the region.

The road's section in [[Desolation Point]] runs below [[Katie's Secluded Corner]] and goes past the [[Lonely Lighthouse]] and [[Hibernia Processing]], ending at [[Broken Bridge (Desolation Point location)|Broken Bridge]].

===Inland Highway===
This road starts near the [[Spruce Falls Bridge]] in [[Mountain Town]] and passes by the [[Hushed River Valley]] [[Cave (Transition zone)| connection cave]] and [[St. Christopher's Church]] to reach [[Town of Milton|Milton]]. It then passes by the [[Orca Gas Station]] and comes to a collapsed tunnel where a [[Crashed Prison Transport Bus|prison bus crashed]]. Beyond this tunnel, the road enters [[Keeper's Pass South]], where a road to [[Blackrock]] branches off at [[Mirthless Fork]].

The road then crosses a bridge and enters [[Pleasant Valley]] at [[Long Curve]]. It passes near [[Pleasant Valley Farmstead]], crossing over the [[Heartbreak Bridge]] and the [[Contemplation Bridge]] to enter the small town of [[Thomson's Crossing]]. The road continues over a bridge. An intersection leads to the Mining Road and the Point of Disagreement Road. This road ends at a landslide aptly named [[End of the Road]].

==Regional roads==
These roads generally travel shorter distances. Some of the more notable ones are listed below.

===[[Coast Mountain Road]]===
A short road that used to lead from the [[Cannery Worker Residences]] to the [[Echo One Radio Tower]] in [[Bleak Inlet]]. It was broken in half by an earthquake, requiring a long rope climb near [[Pensive Lookout]] to get between the two sections.

===Farmstead Roads===
These roads are in Pleasant Valley, and are generally level, travelling though fields and woodland. They connect the [[Pleasant Valley Outbuildings]] to the [[Pleasant Valley Farmstead|farmhouse]], [[Three Strikes Farmstead]], and the Inland Highway. Several wooden bridges may be found crossing the rivers in the region.

===Forsaken Airfield Road===
Leads from the [[Vacant Depot]] to the [[Main Hangar]]. The road first climbs up a short hill, then enters a narrow canyon. After some time it breaks out of the canyon, affording a view of the airport at [[Whealy's Turn]]. It then re-enters the canyon before emerging into more open country at the [[Junker's Paddock]]. Soon thereafter, the road branches in two, with one branch leading to the airport and another going through the flat, featureless landscape of [[Forsaken Airfield]] to eventually climb a hill leading to [[Mindful Cabin]].

===Mining Road===
This road in [[Pleasant Valley]] connects the Inland Highway to the [[Cinder Hills Coal Mine]]. It initially leads through some forest before climbing up steeply to the mine entrance.

===Langston Mine Road===
Starting at [[Vacant Depot]], this road parallels the [[Trans-Island Railway Line]], passing by some derailed railcars, a locomotive, and a [[Chemical Hazard]]. It then passes through [[Flagman's Gap]] and heads near [[Idle Camp]], where a minor road branches off. This small road splits in two, with one branch leading to [[Boss's Settlement]], the other [[Harrowed Residence]]. The main road passes through a couple more Chemical Hazards before arriving at the [[Langston Mine]] itself. From there, it continues southwards around the perimeter of the open pit, passing by the [[Pump House]] and [[Overladen Pond]], before going through one more Chemical Hazard and ending at a trailer.

===Misty Falls Road===
Starts shortly after the Mining Road in [[Pleasant Valley]] and is paved up to the [[Derelict Cabins]], at which point the road splits in two. The low branch gradually goes downhill towards the [[Draft Dodger's Cabin]] through the forest, crossing over a bridge along the way. The high branch slowly goes uphill, crosses another wooden bridge before coming to the [[Point of Disagreement]]. From there, it makes a right, and players will see a broken-down cabin and the rope to [[Timberwolf Mountain]]. The road ends at the [[Misty Falls Picnic Area]], and players may wish to rest-up in the [[Misty Falls Cave|nearby cave]].

===Signal Hill Road===
A road that starts roughly halfway between [[Contemplation Bridge]] and [[Thomson's Crossing]], passing mainly through woodlands and generally slowly uphill. Notable landmarks include the [[Picnic Spot]] and [[Pensive Pond]] before coming to [[Signal Hill]] itself.

===Weather Station Road===
This road starts at [[Vacant Depot]] and is blocked by a landslide, forcing players to go around. It then continues along the edge of the mountain over [[Baneful Bridge]], passing [[Lotte's Rest]]. From there, the road continues to hug the mountain, crossing over a river at [[Cascading Gap]] before arriving into the alpine at [[Placid Notch]]. At the [[Timberwolf]]-infested [[Old Settlement]], the road splits in half: one branch continues uphill past [[Ambler's Lake]] and [[Final Refuge]], ending at an avalance called [[Unyielding Inundation]]. The other branch crosses over a broken bridge before going quickly uphill, ending at the [[Weather Station]].
