The Days Gone map is a massive chunk of Oregon and takes time to reveal itself, so the map initially appears much smaller than it actually is. Once you start to explore in Days Gone, and eventually get past the Cascades and Hot Springs, you'll realize that the opening zone is only about a third of the full Days Gone map, and as you start to unlock new areas it just keeps going.
That means it can be easy to get lost, miss things, or explore in directions that don't reveal much. So, to help you avoid that and keep you on track, this Days Gone map guide shows you the fully de-fogged world and includes information about the different areas of Oregon, letting you find all the best bits sooner.
Since this map guide details the game's territories, the order you unlock them, and some of the dangers you'll encounter in the different regions, there are minor spoilers below.

Days Gone map
When looking at the Days Gone map in-game, you can’t zoom out all the way to take a look at the entire map. We’ve stitched together the image above for a rough look at the full map with almost all areas explored. The white cloudy areas indicate unexplored parts of the map, but most of these are mountaintops and inaccessible.
In the top left corner, the desert region with the huge mountain in the middle is Hot Springs, which has Ada Tucker’s camp in the woodland area to the west. The top right region is Cascades, which is the starting region with Mark Copeland’s camp in the south-west corner.
Below Hot Springs is Iron Butte, which is largely populated by Rippers and inaccessible for a huge portion of the game. To the east of there is Lost Lake, with Iron Mike’s camp in the very middle surrounded by Lost Lake on either side.
In the lower third of the map, the left side is Crater Lake, which has both Derrick Kouri’s camp in the north-west and Colonel Garrett’s camp in the very middle of Crater Lake. Highway 97 is the final region found to the east, which doesn’t have a camp at all. Finally, the huge snowy mountainous region simply separates Crater Lake and Highway 97 from the rest of the map and is known in-game as the Thielsen Pass.
