What's here
Iron Mike's Camp sits in the old resort on the lake shore and runs most of the work in the region. Sherman's Camp, an abandoned town, has its own infestation and a Horde. The Old Sawmill checkpoint and the Santiam Tunnel checkpoint guard the roads west and south.
Getting around
The lake sits in the middle of the map, so Lost Lake is the crossroads between the north and the Iron Butte. Fast travel only works along routes with no live infestation, so burning the nests here opens the map up.
Worth knowing
Iron Mike's mechanic sells some of the best bike parts in the game at Trust Level 2 and 3. Doing Lost Lake jobs early makes those parts affordable sooner.
