The Oasis is a stretch of plentiful land bordered by a vast desert and the current home of the San Francisco Ape Colony and various other ape clans that emerged in the following decades.

History

Discovery

During the search for a new place for the San Francisco Ape Colony to live, Ape Prince Blue Eyes and Rocket found the Oasis after a long journey. Seeing that it was across a desert far from the ongoing conflict of the Human-Ape War, they decided that it would be a perfect settlement for the apes to live freely.

Following the attack on their waterfall home, the apes realized their location was compromised and Caesar told his followers to head for the location Blue Eyes spoke of while he went off for revenge on the Colonel for killing his wife and son. However, the apes were intercepted and captured by Alpha-Omega along the way.

Ape's journey

During the battle between the opposing human armies, the apes escaped captivity before the Alpha-Omega base was subsequently devastated by a massive avalanche. With the fighting finally over, Caesar and the other apes were free to cross the desert and find the oasis.

Ape's home

The apes soon found the oasis where they saw how beautiful it was and realized they were truly free from war. While the other apes joyously celebrated their new home, Maurice discovered Caesar's wound and the latter revealed that; he would soon die. Maurice then spoke, telling Caesar that his son, Cornelius and the rest of the colony would know who their savior was, what he stood for and what he did to protect the apes. Caesar then slowly and silently succumbed to his wounds, and died peacefully while Maurice mourned his passing as the other apes looked on.

Feature

The oasis is surrounded by mountains and located deep within a vast desert. It sports a large lake in the center and a small forest on the perimeter of the oasis.

  • Although never specified (on-screen) it can be inferred that the oasis is in the Basin and Range Province, most likely somewhere in Arizona, Utah or Colorado.
