Cholla Springs is a constituent county in the state of New Austin in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2. It is argued to be the most important region in New Austin, due to it being the largest and the heart of the state.
Description
It is the centre of New Austin, bordering 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 largely arid desert with a few shrubs and cactus. Most of the land is too arid and dry for farming, making cattle ranching a more preferable choice. Crime and gangs are high, 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.
Its capital is the town of Armadillo; once a small and diseased village in the 1890's, 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 train station.
