New Austin

"New Austin: the last real outlaw country. Where the old ways still hold true. You do a man wrong, he'll shoot you for it. You do a man right...well, he still may shoot you for it. But at least you have an idea of what's right and what's wrong here."

- John Marston



New Austin is one of three states (or territories) in Red Dead Redemption, and is also the largest. It is also known as the Frontier.

This territory is characterized as a largely rugged and arid wilderness, in the process of colonization. As such, there is an expected presence of wild animals and outlaws.

Geography
To the south lies the Nuevo Paraiso territory, and to the northeast lies the West Elizabeth territory.

New Austin is composed of four smaller regions, Cholla Springs, Gaptooth Ridge, Hennigan's Stead and Río Bravo.

New Austin resembles many real life places: the eastern end, for example, is like Texas with its prairies, while western areas resemble Arizona and even California deserts, because desert dwelling plants such as the Saguaro cactus of Arizona and Joshua trees of California's Mojave desert are very common in Gaptooth Ridge and western Nuevo Paraiso. Some areas of New Austin resemble real world Joshua Tree National Park in southern California, Nevada and northern Arizona. Areas around Thieves' Landing resemble Louisiana. The name of the territory, New Austin, implies that it may be named after Austin, Texas.
