There are only a couple of ultracite veins in the game and they are unsurprisingly located in the game’s toughest region — The Cranberry Bog.

The Glassed Cavern is a massive cave system in the Cranberry Bog.  This area features multiple Ultracite veins.  The second area to check for a Ultracite harvesting opportunity is to go to Drop Site G3.  You can get there using the map above.  The locations are marked by the Vault Boy image.  Cranberry Bog is located at the Southeast corner of the map.  The Glassed Cavern is on the far southeast side of Cranberry Bog.  The drop site is on the Northwest side.
