Cholla Springs is a constituent region of the New Austin territory in Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online.

Description[]

Cholla Springs is the center of New Austin. The region borders the counties of Gaptooth Ridge to the west, Río Bravo to the south, and Hennigan's Stead to the east. A small portion of the South-Eastern border is defined by the San Luis River, and the Redemption Mountains are to its north.

The area is a largely arid desert with few shrubs and cacti. Most of the land is too dry for farming, making cattle ranching a more preferable choice. Crime – particularly in the form of outlaw gangs – is prevalent, and so danger is common. The region consists of wide-open desert plains and low lying hills with small rocky canyons and cliffs with jagged peaks. Trees are almost non-existent. The largest source of water in the region is Lake Don Julio to the south.

The capital is the town of Armadillo; once a small and diseased village in the 1890s, it has grown to be the largest and most well-known location in the entire state of New Austin by 1911. Aside from Armadillo, the county is mostly rural, littered with a few small ranches and a single train station.
