Desolation

The most prominent pockmark on the face of this region is Fallout Epicenter, a smoldering ruin of a site. This windswept, interconnected region needs high tech recovery to unearth the natural riches buried deep within.

Desolation is one of the regions introduced in Update 8 of SimCity (2013). The region consists of 7 city sites and a great work site.
