Modoc is one of the few places where wastelanders still can get married. In 2241, Modoc has problems with ' ghosts,' missing watches, gardens infested with rats and a missing boy, among other things. The town in 2241 is led by its sheriff Jo. Modoc is beginning to change to a trade city, taking its cue as a stopover place for the Vault City trade routes, but the change may not be enough to save it. It is mostly a sleepy mountain community, with a centrally located Bed and Breakfast for the traveler. For a long time, it traded in leather and meat from brahmin, but as other places were offering the same goods at cheaper rates, and people began herding and raising their own brahmin, Modoc has been on the decline. A dwindling collection of hillbillies, Modoc is a small farming town built on the edge of the former Modoc National Forest.
