I seem to read somewhere that Novac is a made-up town, right? No wonder, since the name is derived from Novac-acany, but I thought that it's at least based on some real life counterpart.
Also, is there really some prison close to Goodsprings (NCRCF)?
Novac is indeed made up. It does take some inspirations from real-world locations, most notably Cabazon, CA, which has a big T-rex (as well as a brontosaurus). Cabazon doesn't match Novac's location, though.
There actually used to be prison near Goodsprings (closer to Jean), called Southern Nevada Correctional. It closed back in 2000, however, and hasn't been re-opened.
