The Hanging Rock

 is a location featured in Red Dead Redemption in the Cholla Springs region of the New Austin territory.

Background
The Hanging Rock is an area northeast of Armadillo. The name is derived from the noose that droops from a tree by the rock, obviously used in numerous hangings. It serves as the spot of the first treasure.

All 3 segments of the Stranger side-mission "American Appetites" end in the hills northeast of this location.

It serves as a location for Walton's Gang hideout for Bounty Targets.
