Locations in Redemption

Locations in Red Dead Redemption represent the gameplay world and consist of three primary territories, each split into a varying number of constituent regions. This area is based on the Rio Grande Basin in Texas/Mexico.

Within each of these regions, there are settlements, gang hideouts, major geographical features, ore mines, bridges, rivers, lakes, camps, outposts, railroads and much more.

The San Luis River runs between New Austin and Nuevo Paraiso, which then appears to empty into the Sea of Coronado. There are also lakes scattered throughout the frontier like Lake Don Julio, which is located in the southern portion of Cholla Springs.

New Austin
New Austin is the first explorable territory available to the player at the start of a new game. The New Austin territory consists of 4 regions: Cholla Springs, Río Bravo, Gaptooth Ridge, and Hennigan's Stead.

Within New Austin the towns of Armadillo, Plainview, Thieves' Landing, Rathskeller Fork and the supposed ghost town of Tumbleweed reside. Also contained within this area are Ridgewood Farm, MacFarlane's Ranch and the infamous Fort Mercer.

In this area there are spaces that sometimes do not show up as places found even after purchasing and using the map for this area. Tanner's Span and Mason's Bridge are two railway bridges SW and SE respectively of the Pacific Union Railroad Camp. Crossing these bridges will unlock these two locations and count towards 100% Completion

Nuevo Paraiso
Nuevo Paraiso, meaning New Paradise, (commonly referred to as Mexico within the game) is the second explorable territory. It is unlocked in the story mission "We Shall Be Together in Paradise".

The Nuevo Paraiso territory consists of three regions: Punta Orgullo, Perdido, and Diez Coronas.

Within this area are the towns of Chuparosa, Escalera, the secret area from undead nightmares is also under the mansion in Escalera, the fortress of El Presidio, the monastery of Las Hermanas and the settlements of Agave Viejo, El Matadero, Torquemada and Casa Madrugada.

You can buy maps of the territory at the market in Chuparosa, and at Gunsmith's in Escalera (this is not obvious)

West Elizabeth
West Elizabeth is the third and final explorable territory which is unlocked following the story mission "An Appointed Time".

It is the only place to find Grizzly Bears, Elk and Buffalo. West Elizabeth consists of Tall Trees to the north-west and the Great Plains making up for the most of West Elizabeth.

West Elizabeth has a mountain called Nekoti Rock, home to many Grizzly Bears. The town of Blackwater (Where John Marston passes through in the first cut scene) lies on West Elizabeth's eastern coast while the smaller Manzanita Post resides in Tall Trees. At the highest of places in Red Dead Redemption, is an area called Cochinay, which consists most of a fort that is accessed near the end of the game.
