Within each of these regions, there are settlements, outlaw 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.
