Why isn't Arthur wanted dead or alive in Big Valley?

Because of the Blackwater massacre, Arthur can't travel to Great Plains and Tall Trees. But why isn't that the case with Big Valley? It is also a part of West Elizabeth. Realistically, shouldn't the entire state be marked red in the map with "Wanted: Dead or Alive?"

Also, I also noticed how no gang member other than Arthur, Micah, Lenny, Javier and Charles steps foot in West Elizabeth in 1899 because of their wanted status. Not even in Big Valley which isn't supposed to be the wanted region.

Micah and Lenny go to Big Valley when Dutch sends them to scout up ahead, which culminated in Micah's arrest for what was unrelated. Some other gang members go to Big Valley if Arthur is imprisoned in Strawberry, in order to break him out of jail.

I think its because a river splits big valley from blackwater.

What do you think?
